The ruling on slaughtering in gratitude to Allah after obtaining what was sought
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on ritual slaughter in general after achieving a desired goal, as a thanksgiving to Allah?
Answer:
There is no harm in slaughtering for Allah the Exalted and giving the meat in charity. This becomes an act of worship if you slaughter it and give its meat in charity to those in need. This is an act of worship because charity is an act of worship. However, if you slaughter it for the rich or for people who are not in need when something happens that prompts you to slaughter, this is among the permissible things.
This is among the permissible things, not an act of worship. You passed the exam and slaughtered at the institute for friends, this is permissible. And they have an act of worship. This is a permissible thing. Or you moved into a new house and slaughtered at the institute for friends and acquaintances, and they are rich and not in need. This is among the permissible things. Yes.
