The Ruling on Slaughter for Other Than Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, Abu Tahir asks about slaughter for other than Allah?
Answer:
Slaughter for other than Allah is major shirk (associating partners with Allah). If one slaughters for a grave, or for a wali (close friend of Allah), or for a jinni, then this is major shirk, because slaughter is an act of worship, as He (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-An'am 6:162] And the nusuk is the sacrificial animal. Just as prayer is not for anyone but Allah, so slaughter is not for anyone but Allah. He the Exalted said: "So sacrifice to your Lord and [make] the offering." This pairs slaughter with prayer in both places, indicating that slaughter for other than Allah is major shirk, just as prayer for other than Allah is major shirk. Yes.
