Question:
The ignorant person who does not know that slaughter is an act of worship for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and slaughters for other than Allah.
Answer:
He knows that this is shirk (associating partners with Allah), so if he dies upon it, the ruling of the polytheists applies to him: he is not prayed over, not prepared for burial, and Muslims do not inherit from him, and his affair is left to Allah.
