Question:
The questioner says: If this man slaughters the fly and his intention is not to draw near to the idol, but rather to save them, would he thereby be a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah)?

Answer:
The hadith is general, my brother. The hadith is general. He slaughtered a fly and let it go, and he entered the Fire. We do not get into the question of, "Did he do such and such?" or "Was his intention such and such?" We do not enter into that. Yes.
