The Ruling on Slaughter for Other Than Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “And in it is the knowledge of the degree of shirk (associating partners with Allah) in the hearts of the believers. How did he bear being killed and not agree with them, even though they did not ask him for anything but the outward act? How do you reconcile this with the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): ‘Actions are only by intentions’?”
Answer:
And they did not say that he believed that slaughtering for other than Allah is permissible. They did not ask him for his belief; they asked him for the act of slaughtering for other than Allah, the Exalted, and he agreed with them in that. Yes.
