The ruling on what is slaughtered for reconciliation between disputing parties

Question:
May Allah greet you, may Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. After this, we move to Yemen, Hajjah Governorate, to read a letter from the listener Ali Hasan Muhammad Uthman. He says: We have what they call al-muqta' (the cut), which is when a person wrongs another person, or wrongs a relative of his, he takes a sheep and brings with him a group of people, and that is from those who have prestige, to slaughter this sheep for the purpose of pleasing this person, calling this reconciliation, and they distribute its meat among the group that went with him, as if he mentions the name of Allah over it. Is this action correct, or is it considered for other than Allah? Guide us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This is one of the tribal customs. If this is a matter of compulsion, then it is forbidden and not permissible. His saying (peace and blessings be upon him) is a kindness from himself, and because of His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He) . So if this is a matter of compulsion, where the one refusing is forced to do it, then this is forbidden. But if this is a matter of choice, where he may do it if he wishes or leave it if he wishes, then there is no harm in that. However, avoiding this is better so that it is not taken as a means or a path to compel people. Yes.
