The Vow to Slaughter in al-Ta'if and the Site of al-Lat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person vows to slaughter an animal for Allah in al-Ta'if, do we tell him that it is not permissible for him to fulfill his vow because of the previous existence of the idol al-Lat and the fact that it was worshipped in this area?
Answer:
It has been removed now, and al-Ta'if is a Muslim country, one of the lands of the Muslims, and praise be to Allah. However, if one looks at the fact that he is slaughtering in al-Ta'if while he is in Riyadh, it appears that he should slaughter in Riyadh.
