Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on slaughtering an animal for the manager at work? As a means of approaching him? What is the ruling on slaughtering for the manager at work, approaching him with it in order to obtain a raise in salary? Is this action permissible?
Answer:
I do not think that approaching him is an act of worship. This is fawning on him, trying to please him so that he will help him. This is considered a bribe. If it is for this purpose, it is a bribe and is not permissible.
