Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some people, when one of them dies, slaughter a sacrifice three days after his death. They claim that he benefits from it and receives reward. Is this correct?
Answer:
This is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Every bid'ah is misguidance. They call this slaughter "the slaughter of the pit." This is not permissible; it is a bid'ah. Yes.
