The second question of fatwa number ( 18447 )
Q 2: Is it permissible to eat the meat of the sacrificial animals that are slaughtered, where the walimah (wedding feast) is intended for a specific wali (close friend of Allah) such as 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani or others ; because these
feasts are very widespread among us, and we hope to know the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding them?
A 2 : The sacrificial animals that are slaughtered as an offering to the awliya (close friends of Allah) or to the jinn and Shayatins, or upon which a name other than Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is mentioned— it is not permissible to eat their meat; because of His saying, the Exalted:[Al-An'am 6:121] and His saying, the Exalted: [Al-Ma'idah 5:3] and slaughtering for other than Allah is major shirk (associating partners with Allah); such as slaughtering for Shaykh 'Abd al-Qadir or al-Badawi or others. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

And do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned
وَلاَ تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِProhibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah
حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ وَالدَّمُ وَلَحْمُ الْخِنْـزِيرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ بِهِ
