What is the ruling on slaughtering an animal at the threshold of his new house’s door, when he does not intend shirk (associating partners with Allah)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He slaughtered an animal at the threshold of his new house’s door, and he says he does not intend shirk (associating partners with Allah).

Answer:
This is permissible at the threshold? No, this is not permissible. Why would he slaughter at the threshold? He is slaughtering out of joy for the new house and to honor the neighbors. He should slaughter it inside, or at the slaughterhouse, or at the abattoir. But at the threshold, this is a bad belief. Yes.
