Hiring a Muslim Butcher to Slaughter Animals Sacrificed in the Name of Non-Muslim Deities
Non-Muslims sacrifice animals in the name of their deities, in which they often sever the animal's head in a single blow. If a Muslim butcher is hired and paid to carry out the slaughter of such an animal, and he performs the task, will the payment received by the Muslim butcher be considered lawful (halal) or not? Kindly provide guidance in light of Islamic law.
الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً
If a Muslim butcher is hired to slaughter animals that are being sacrificed in the name of non-Muslim deities or gods, and he performs the slaughter and receives payment for it, then although it may be technically permissible for the butcher to use that payment, it is still disliked (makrooh) for a Muslim to sever the head of an animal completely in one blow, or to slaughter animals on behalf of non-Muslims in the name of their gods or deities. Therefore, such actions must be avoided.

كما في الفتاوى الهندية: مسلم ذبح شاة المجوسي لبيت نارهم او الكافر لآلهتهم تؤكل، لانه سمى الله تعالى ويكره للمسلم، كذا في التتارخانية ناقلا عن جامع الفتاوى اھ ۔(285/5)۔
و في الفتاوى الهندية: ومن المستحب قطع الأوداج كلها ويكره قطع البعض دون البعض ويستحب الاكتفاء بقطع الأوداج ولا يباين الرأس ولو فعل يكره اھ (5/ 287)۔
