The ruling on the sacrificial animal slaughtered when building a house or moving into it

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh Abu 'Abdullah, regarding the sacrificial animal that is slaughtered when building a residence and when moving into a new house, and friends gather for it, is there any harm in that? The sacrificial animal slaughtered in the residence when moving into it is a matter of joy and happiness.

Answer:
This is among the permissible things. This is among the permissible things if the intention is joy and happiness and gathering relatives and friends, then there is nothing wrong with it. However, if the intention is to ward off the evil of the jinn, as some ignorant people do—slaughtering to ward off the evil of the jinn—this is shirk (associating partners with Allah) with Allah the Exalted and Majestic, and it is not permissible. Some of them slaughter it at the entrance and take some of its blood and sprinkle it on the entrance to protect against the jinn. This is shirk (associating partners with Allah) with Allah the Exalted and Majestic. Yes.
