Combining the hadith on the locations of the idols with the hadith on slaughtering at Buwani
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: How do you reconcile what is reported in the hadith regarding the permissibility of using the locations of the idols as mosques once the obstacle is removed, with the hadith about the man who wanted to slaughter camels at Buwani, to whom the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Was there an idol there that was worshipped, or a statue?
Answer:
Yes. This is in the case of slaughter, and there is no contradiction between these two. This applies to slaughter because slaughtering in this place is an imitation of those who used to slaughter for the idols and statues that were present in this location, so this slaughter is not valid. As for prayer and worship, these were not in the houses of the disbelievers. They were removed and replaced with prayer and the remembrance of Allah. Yes.
