Did the author not mention in his title that slaughtering for other than Allah is shirk (associating partners with Allah)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The author, Shaykh Salih, did not say "a chapter on shirk," but rather it is called "a chapter on what has come regarding slaughtering for other than Allah." Is there a reasoning, Shaykh?

Answer:
Because the ruling is clear in this matter. Yes. The ruling is clear in this matter.
Say, "Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lordقُلْ إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ
[Al-An'am 6:162]
and slaughter. The ruling is clear from the two verses that one does not slaughter or offer a sacrifice except for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So whoever slaughters or offers a sacrifice for other than Allah is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah). Likewise, the matter is clear in the hadith; in the hadith of 'Ali, it is stated that Allah the Exalted will curse him, and cursing means being driven away and kept distant from the mercy of Allah, meaning that he has no share in Paradise, for whoever Allah curses does not enter Paradise. We ask Allah for safety. If this is due to shirk (associating partners with Allah), then it is because of the shirk. But if this is due to a major sin from the major sins, other than shirk, then it is under the will of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
