Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: In the saying of the Exalted and Glorious[Al-An'am 6:121], some people say that declaring carrion permissible is obedience to other than Allah, and it is major shirk (associating partners with Allah) because it is a rejection of Allah’s ruling and an acceptance of the ruling of others. Is what they mentioned correct?
Answer:
Yes, the polytheists said, “You eat from what you slaughtered, but you do not eat from what Allah slaughtered,” because they claim that Allah slaughtered the carrion with a special knife or a sickle—I do not know. They argue and debate about this.[Al-An'am 6:121] The Jewish devils inspire their allies among the hypocrites, saying, “You eat from what you slaughtered, but you do not eat from what Allah slaughtered, because Allah slaughtered the carrion,” according to their claim. Yes. Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. [Al-An'am 6:121] Shirk of obedience; this is from shirk of obedience. Yes.
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: In the saying of the Exalted and Glorious
And do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned, for indeed, it is grave disobedience. And indeed do the devils inspire their allies [among men] to dispute with you. And if you were to obey them, indeed, you would be associators [of others with Him].
وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّهُ لَفِسْقٌ وَإِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ لَيُوحُونَ إِلَىٰ أَوْلِيَائِهِمْ لِيُجَادِلُوكُمْ وَإِنْ أَطَعْتُمُوهُمْ إِنَّكُمْ لَمُشْرِكُونَAnswer:
