Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is slaughtering animals at graves shirk (associating partners with Allah)?
The Shaykh:
Yes, indeed. One does not slaughter there except to draw near to the grave, so it is not permissible to slaughter there. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: May Allah reward you. And if he does not believe in the person in the grave at all.
The Shaykh:
Why would he slaughter at the grave? He no longer believes in it. Look, what does he have to slaughter at the grave for? He wants to dirty the grave with the slaughtered animal and the blood. One does not slaughter there except that he hopes for something from it and fears it. Yes.
