The ruling on slaughtering an animal on behalf of a person who was seen in a bad dream
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. From the Syrian Arab Republic, a listener whose name is symbolic, spelled out in letters. She says: We have a custom, which is that if something bad happens to a person, or rather, if a person sees something bad in a dream, the family of that person slaughters an animal on his behalf, intending by that to ransom him. Is this permissible, or what is the ruling? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This has no basis. Slaughtering on this occasion is not prescribed. A dream may be true, and it may be false, and most dreams are from Shaytan. So slaughtering a sacrificial animal on this occasion is not permissible. Yes.
