Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on slaughtering a sacrificial animal when buying a car or a house to ward off harm and the evil eye?
Answer:
It is not permissible. This is a false belief, and this is slaughtering for other than Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Slaughtering to ward off the evil eye or to ward off the jinn, we say this is shirk (associating partners with Allah) with Allah (Mighty and Majestic). It is not permissible. Slaughtering for other than Allah. Yes.
