Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The fifth question of Fatwa No. ( 4042 ):
Q5: We have many people who vow to slaughter animals for other than Allah, for the dead, and at the same time they say: “O Lord” — for example — “O Lord, if our Lord makes my son or daughter successful, I will slaughter a sheep for you, O Shaykh So-and-So.”
A5: Vowing for other than Allah is shirk (associating partners with Allah), and slaughtering for other than Allah is shirk; because of the saying of Allah
the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:270] And He the Exalted said: [Al-An'am 6:162-163] the verse, and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih Muslim 1978b . And the vow is included in His saying the Exalted: . And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
