Slaughter for Allah in Celebration of an Occasion
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: What is the ruling on slaughtering a sacrifice for Allah? He says: In celebration, for the sake of joy.
Answer:
No, there is nothing wrong with that. Slaughtering in the name of Allah on the occasions of a newborn's birth, the 'aqiqah, the udhiyah, and the sacrifices by which one draws near to Allah—these are acts of worship. Yes,[Al-Kawthar 108:2] It is an act of worship. [Al-An'am 6:162-163] And the "nusk" is the sacrificial animal; He paired it with prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
