The ruling on the slaughter of one who swears by other than Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the slaughterhouses, so I heard the butcher address his friend by saying, "By the Prophet," while knowing that he mentions Allah and says takbir over the slaughtered animal at the time of slaughter. Is his slaughter halal while he utters this phrase, or not?
Answer:
Yes, his slaughter is halal, because swearing by other than Allah is minor shirk. Minor shirk does not take one out of the religion. The one who swears by other than Allah is a mushrik who commits minor shirk, but he is a Muslim. His slaughter is eaten, and there is no harm in that.
