What is the ruling on slaughtering an animal when purchasing a house, a car, or the like?

Question : Some people slaughter animals for Allah the Exalted, such as when buying a car or a house. What is the ruling on that? It is known that some of them say that this slaughter is only for the joy or for the blessing.

Answer : It appears that this is slaughter for the sake of joy. When a person buys a house, he slaughters sheep, cattle, or camels out of his joy for the house so that people may partake of it, displaying his joy for the house. There is nothing wrong with this, because the default ruling for everything other than acts of worship is permissibility, unless there is evidence prohibiting it.

The presenter : May Allah reward you.
