Question:
Shaykh, also in the course of your speech, you mentioned that if the one slaughtering intends to honor and host the person, but he performs the slaughter upon the arrival of this guest at the place of hospitality.
Answer:
No, no, it is not like the first case. The first case we mentioned is when one slaughters not for the purpose of eating the slaughtered animal, but for the purpose of greeting the one who has arrived. If he gets off his vehicle and immediately slaughters to honor the one who has arrived and greet him, that is slaughtering for other than Allah the Exalted. But as for one who slaughters for the hospitality of the one who has arrived, for the joy of his presence, or to honor him, there is no harm in that. Yes.
