The ruling on eating from what is slaughtered upon the death of a person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: When a person dies, the deceased's family slaughter an animal after his death. Are we permitted to eat from it?
Answer:
Do not eat from it. It is an innovated slaughter.[Al-A'raf 7:71]. In Islam, there is no slaughtering of the 'Id sacrifice on behalf of the deceased during the time of the 'Id sacrifice; because the sacrifice is a recommended practice (sunnah) for the living and the deceased, and for the 'Aqiqah. As for slaughtering upon death, or upon burial, or after the fortieth day, leave all of that. [Al-A'raf 7:71]. These are forbidden slaughters; because they are not based on evidence from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger. Yes.
