Ruling on slaughtering with the intention of warding off envy
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q292: The questioner asks: What is the ruling on slaughtering an animal at the threshold of the door when a person builds a new house, seeking blessing and to ward off the evil eye?
A292: This act is not permissible; rather, this is major shirk (associating partners with Allah). If one slaughters for the jinn in order to keep their harm away from him, it is major shirk because he slaughtered for other than Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). And if he slaughters it for the sake of seeking blessing or the like, this is also not permissible, because it is a defective and bad belief.
