Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on slaughter and prostration for other than Allah?
Answer:
Slaughter is an act of worship associated with prayer. Allah the Exalted said: "So sacrifice to your Lord and offer." Allah the Exalted said:[Al-An'am 6:162] So, what is slaughter for the purpose of drawing near? It is associated with the testimony, with the testimony that there is no god but Allah, and with tawhid (the oneness of Allah). Whoever slaughters for other than Allah is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) committing major shirk (associating partners with Allah), which expels one from the religion, because he directed a type of worship, indeed one of the greatest types of worship, to other than Allah and associated with Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). Yes.
