Can two people slaughter an animal together?

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

If two persons slaughter one animal at once, it is required for both of them to recite a tasmiyah (bismillahi Allahu akbar). If any one of them intentionally leaves reciting the tasmiyah out, the animal will be haram.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
