Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If someone says, "I slaughter for Allah, and I know that slaughtering for other than Allah is shirk (associating partners with Allah), but I slaughter at the grave of al-Badawi because that is more likely to be accepted," what is the ruling on this?

Answer:
This is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and a means to shirk. You slaughter for Allah; slaughter in your house for Allah or in any place. Why do you go to the grave of al-Badawi? Why do you go to the grave of al-Badawi? This involves imitating those who worship and slaughter for him, and participating with them in this. So this is among the means to shirk. Yes.
