The Ruling on the Sacrifice When Moving into a New House
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Is the animal slaughtered when moving into a new house considered valid if one intends it as charity for Allah? Is that prohibited, or is it permissible?
Answer:
It depends on the intention. If he intends by it to ward off the evil of the jinn or the evil of the Shayatin, then that is shirk (associating partners with Allah) and is not permissible. If he intends by it what they call the "nuzalah"—the nuzalah being a matter of joy and gathering brothers, friends, and relatives to celebrate moving into the house—then there is no harm in that. This is among the good customs. Yes.
The presenter:
