This had me scratching my head in another thread

Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah." [Al-Qur’an 5:3]

Is this the only passage in the Qu'ran that the method of butchering meat is based on, or is there more? Because reading that I see nothing about having to say "Allah" (or whatever it is you have to say) when killing an animal, it merely says that you can't eat it if someone has said a name other than Allah.


Based on that passage if a cow is butchered and someone says "I kill this animal for Ra" then you can't eat it, but if the butcher says nothing at all then you can.
