What is the ruling on slaughtering for Allah at the grave?
Slaughtering for Allah at the grave is a religious innovation (bid'ah); because in reality it is a means to major shirk (associating partners with Allah); because anyone who sees you slaughtering at the grave will assume nothing other than that you are slaughtering for the occupant of the grave. And it becomes major shirk if you intend by it to draw near to the occupant of the grave and to exalt the occupant of the grave; because slaughtering in the way of exaltation and drawing near is not permissible except for Allah, so it is one of the acts of worship. Therefore, if you direct it to the grave, you have directed a type of worship to other than Allah, and thereby you become one who associates partners with Allah.
