Question:
What is the ruling on eating from a sacrifice that is slaughtered for Allah with the intention of bringing rain?
Answer:
Slaughtering this is a bid'ah (religious innovation); it is not permissible. Slaughtering for Allah with the intention of bringing rain is not what was transmitted; it is a bid'ah. It is not permissible to eat from it, because eating from it constitutes approving it, and it is a bid'ah.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
