The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: In our country, when a man dies, they slaughter a sheep and invite some people to eat, and they dedicate the reward to the deceased. Is this practice prescribed?
The Shaykh:
This is an innovation, this is an innovation, and it is not permissible. If they want to benefit the deceased, give charity on his behalf with food, money, or clothing. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
The slaughter is not permissible, yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman is asking, and she says: I was fasting to make up for Ramadan,
The Shaykh:
Even if they bought meat and distributed it, that would not be contrary to the ruling, but the slaughter is not allowed; the slaughter is an act of worship. Yes.
