The ruling on slaughtering a sheep for the sake of reconciliation to satisfy the opponent

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: When a person strikes another with his hand, the ruling is that he must bring a sheep to the one who was struck, and the one who was struck slaughters it for those present at the reconciliation. Is that permissible?

Answer:
This is a ruling from the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah). This is among the rulings of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance and tribal customs. The one who strikes, or strikes with his hand, or does something similar, goes to complain to the court. The judge summons the defendant and either exacts retaliation for him or rules against him with whatever he sees fit.
