Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Slaughtering is an act of worship for Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), through which the servant draws near to his Lord. Is it permissible for a person to slaughter a sheep with the intention of drawing near to Allah at any time other than the times of the two festivals?
Answer:
If his intention is to give charity to the needy, then this is permissible. He slaughters an animal and gives its meat in charity to the needy. This is a good thing.
