Taking the Wolf's Meat and the Belief That It Drives Away Jinn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence, the father. The questioner says: We have sheep in the open country, and a wolf came and killed one, so the shepherd killed it. Then the Bedouin people came to cut pieces of the wolf's meat and take them to their homes. Is there a specific belief they hold regarding this? And what is the ruling on that?
The Shaykh:
Yes, indeed. They may believe that it drives away the jinn. They say that the wolf drives away the jinn, and they take its organs in order to drive away the jinn. This is a false belief of shirk (associating partners with Allah). Is this not permissible?
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
You must advise them against this action. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
