Slaughtering at the threshold of a new house
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Slaughtering at the threshold of a new house.
The Shaykh:
This is done for the jinn; it is major shirk (associating partners with Allah). It is worship of the jinn.
Another questioner:
I ask Allah that it be a busy person who is sent.
The questioner:
What is done solely to draw near to the jinn is merely a habit.
The Shaykh:
No, they say they do it for the jinn. They say, "It protects us from their evil; we slaughter for them so that they do not enter our houses."
Another questioner:
If Allah wills.
The Shaykh:
That is their intention. This is done in the south, in the southern region, but, if Allah wills, it has ceased.
