The ruling on slaughtering a ram to mark the opening of a building
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah conceal [our faults]. In one of the places, a building was opened, and at the opening, a ram was slaughtered to mark the opening. The slaughter of one of the newspapers was also filmed, where the slaughter took place outside the building. The question is: What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
This is shirk (associating partners with Allah) and slaughtering for other than Allah, because they believe that this slaughter is for the jinn and that they ward off the harm of the jinn with this slaughter. They slaughter for the jinn so that the jinn do not harm them. This is from the actions of the ignorant, or it is shirk (associating partners with Allah). If this happened in the lands of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), it is obligatory to report the matter to the authorities so that they may discipline them with a deterrent punishment.
