Question:
Some people say that whoever completes the recitation of the Qur'an and does not slaughter an animal will be afflicted with a calamity. What is the guidance of Shaykh Salih?
Answer:
There is no basis for this, and slaughtering an animal for completing the recitation of the Qur'an is not obligatory. If one does it, there is no blame on him; it is a way of thanking Allah the Exalted and rejoicing in the blessing of Allah. So there is nothing wrong with slaughtering and preparing food, and inviting the neighbors, friends, those in need, and the poor, the poor being the first priority. And if one does not do it, there is no blame on him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
