What is the way to eradicate this sin – slaughtering for graves – is it through seminars or conferences, or what?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. The letters raising this issue are numerous, Honorable Shaykh Salih, and the questions about such matters are also frequent. It appears to me that the issue is widespread. What is the way to eradicate this sin? Is it through seminars? Through conferences? Through the media? Or through the bodies for enjoining good and forbidding evil and calling for their establishment in the countries where they have not yet been established? May Allah reward you with good, Honorable Shaykh Salih.

Answer:
There is no doubt that the abundance of questions about this issue indicates a prevalence of error and violations in it, and praise be to Allah, asking indicates good and indicates wakefulness. However, the obligation to remove this ugly nightmare that has spread in many of the lands of the Muslims is the obligation of the scholars, whom Allah has entrusted with the trust of knowledge, and He will question them about it on the Day of Resurrection And if it is permissible for the scholars to remain silent about this great danger? No, rather it is obligatory for them to clarify that this is shirk (associating partners with Allah) and that these are bid'ah (religious innovations) and newly invented matters. They must show people the path of correctness and warn them from these Satanic, superstitious, and polytheistic paths. And upon the callers to Allah, especially those who claim affiliation with the da'wah (calling to Islam) and organize it, preparing themselves for the da'wah and calling themselves callers, it is upon them to begin with this great obligation, which is calling to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and forbidding shirk, just as the Prophets (peace and blessings be upon them) used to do. , He the Exalted and Majestic said: So the call of the Messengers begins with this, namely, rectifying the beliefs, commanding tawhid, forbidding shirk, and jihad. Jihad in the cause of that, if Allah the Exalted and Majestic enables them to do so. So it is obligatory for the callers to pay attention to this matter and not let the scope of their da'wah be in side matters that do not benefit anything, while neglecting this great matter which is the foundation of the religion and the pillar of the faith, which is the meaning of the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. And the means of da'wah are many, and praise be to Allah: lectures, seminars, lessons, teaching in the mosques, Friday and festival sermons, writings, books, and letters, writing in newspapers and magazines, visual, written, and audio media. The people of knowledge and the callers should have a place in these means. They should not be left to dramas, series, and nonsense, or to what is worse than that, which is misguidance. But they should have a place in them so that they convey to the people what Allah revealed to His Messenger, and so that they fulfill their obligation toward the servants of Allah. For Allah has placed upon them the responsibility of knowledge, and He will question them about it on the Day of Resurrection. It has come in the hadith that Yes.
