Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: When Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him) honored his guests with a fat calf, even though there were only two of them, and less than that would have been sufficient for them, is there an argument in this for those who are extravagant in slaughtering animals today?
Answer:
From a group of people, Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: "He preserves." "He preserves" is used for the singular, for the dual, and for the plural. They are angels. They said, "We sent this group." This is a plural pronoun. "We sent" to a people who were criminals. So who defined them by this example? Yes.
