Is thanking Allah done through prayer and charity?

Question : The questioner asks: Is it permissible to thank Allah through charity, slaughtering, and prayer, or is this a matter restricted to the prostration of gratitude?

Answer : Yes, every act of obedience performed by the servant is a form of thanking Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Allah the Exalted said: "O family of David, do good deeds in return for what We have given you." For what? For gratitude. So every good deed by which you draw near to Allah is gratitude. Based on this, if a person is granted a blessing, it is prescribed for him to prostrate in the prostration of gratitude. There is no harm in giving charity, freeing a slave, or doing similar things in order to thank Allah the Exalted for this blessing. As for slaughtering, we have previously stated that drawing near to Allah through slaughtering is not permissible except at its proper time. There are three, four, or five types of slaughtering by which one draws near to Allah. Is it four types or three?
The 'udhiyah, the hady, the fidyah, and the 'aqiqah. How many is that? Four. These are the types by which one draws near to Allah the Exalted through slaughtering. As for anything other than these, it is not a valid form of worship. What about the walimah? Does a person draw near to Allah by slaughtering for it or by its meat? I do not see that it falls under the category of worship through slaughtering, but rather under the category of worship through the meat. Yes.
