The ruling on one who dies upon shirk (associating partners with Allah)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The ignorant person who does not know that slaughtering is an act of worship.
The Shaykh:
Except what?
The questioner:
The ignorant person who does not know that slaughtering is an act of worship to Allah the Exalted, and he slaughters for other than Allah.
The Shaykh:
He knows that this is shirk (associating partners with Allah), so if he dies upon it, he is judged by the ruling of the polytheists: he is not prayed over, he is not prepared for burial, and he does not inherit from the Muslims. His affair is left to Allah.
