The ruling on slaughtering a vowed camel at the site of the house
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
(peace and blessings be upon him). And she said: If my husband’s house collapses, I will slaughter a camel from the camels in its place, and the house was demolished. The woman said: If I slaughter in the place of the demolished house, that would be a major divorce.
The Shaykh:
Yes, I am with the question.
The questioner:
Does he say: If my husband’s house is destroyed, I will slaughter a camel from the sand in its place, and the night is dark, and the woman is standing, or I demolish the place of the house, that it is slaughtered by the major [divorce],
The Shaykh:
The slaughter is obligatory because it is an act of worship in which the meat is given in charity. As for the location, it is not required to slaughter at the site of the house. A vowed slaughter is valid in any place. You do not slaughter it at the site of the house. It is not required to slaughter at a specific location unless it is one of the places that have virtue, such as al-Masjid al-Haram, meaning the Haram, the Haram of Makkah, or worship in al-Masjid al-Haram, or in al-Masjid al-Nabawi, or al-Masjid al-Aqsa. This is where the vow becomes specific if one vows it, that he must fulfill it there. As for other places, all locations are equal. You slaughter the camel in any place and distribute its meat to the poor. Yes.
