The Ruling on Slaughtering a Sacrifice in Thanks to Allah or to Drive Away Jinn

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A person has been granted a new house by Allah. Is it permissible for him to slaughter an animal and feed the Muslims with it, as a thanksgiving to Allah for what He has bestowed upon him?

Answer:
If his intention is to give thanks to Allah, there is nothing wrong with it; that is good. However, if his intention is to ward off jinn or drive them out of the house, that is shirk (associating partners with Allah) and is not permissible. Some people slaughter to seek protection from the harm of jinn. This is shirk with Allah (Mighty and Majestic), so that they do not come into the house or cause harm. Some of them take some of the blood and sprinkle it on the walls and foundations to drive away the jinn. This is shirk with Allah (Mighty and Majestic), drawing near to other than Allah.

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: In the matter of marking camels, is it not considered?

Answer:
He slaughters when starting the factory, when he installs the tools, machines, and equipment for the factory. When the machines start running, he slaughters. This is shirk (associating partners with Allah) with Allah the Exalted, in order to drive away the jinn, as he claims. This is from the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah).
