Saying “O Allah, this is for Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)” when slaughtering the ‘Id sacrifice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for a Muslim to slaughter an ‘Id sacrifice and say, “O Allah, this is for Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)”?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. However, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has a reward like that of the worker from his Ummah until the Day of Resurrection. So he has a need for you to say “for Muhammad” or “the reward is for Muhammad,” because he has a share of the reward equal to yours in every good deed you do, for he is the one who guided you to this and directed you to it. Yes.
