Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who adds another name to the name of Allah when slaughtering, such as saying "In the name of Allah and the shaykh" or "the wali"? Is that shirk (associating partners with Allah)?
Answer:
This is shirk. If he says "In the name of Allah and the name of Shaykh So-and-so and the wali So-and-so," this is shirk. This is shirk with Allah (Mighty and Majestic). He should say "In the name of Allah" only. Yes.
