Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If one slaughters and invokes the name of Allah, but slaughters to honor a person, does this contradict tawhid (the oneness of Allah)?
Answer:
Yes. If one slaughters for a grave and invokes Allah, because the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah) who worship shrines invoke Allah, but their intention is for the dead, seeking nearness to them, then it is shirk (associating partners with Allah), even if they invoke Allah over them. Yes.
