Can I eat of a goat which a Muslim who is not particular of his Salaah slaughtered

Q: If a muslim who peforms salaah only in ramadan and in the remaining months performs sometimes jumah salaah slaughters a goat or a halal animal, can I eat of it?

A: If a Muslim slaughters a goat in accordance to the prescribed method of slaughter (i.e. with reciting the tasmiya) the animal will be halaal.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
