The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. A message from one of the brothers, from the Yemeni Republic, Taiz, and its sender is the guardian of the woman Fawziyah al-Wajih. He asks and says: Tell us about the right of the deceased after his death by one hour; how do we act at that time? May Allah reward you with good, for some people slaughter livestock, and this is known as al-'Ashiyyah. Is this from what is prescribed? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
This is not prescribed. Slaughtering animals upon the death of the deceased, or one hour or hours after it, and adhering to this is a matter that is not prescribed. It is an innovation, and there is no evidence for it.
The presenter:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said.
The presenter:
mercy of Allah.
The Shaykh:
InSahih Muslim 1718a, in a narration, it is stated that whoever does an act for which there is no command from us, it is rejected. What is prescribed when a Muslim dies is to hasten to wash him, shroud him, prepare him, pray over him, then carry him to his grave, and supplicate for him and seek forgiveness for him. This is what is prescribed. Yes. As for slaughtering animals upon his death, and believing that this is prescribed and timely at this moment, this is a religious innovation (bid'ah). Yes.
