Those who slaughter for the awliya (close friends of Allah) say, "We do not slaughter as an offering to them, but we slaughter on the occasion of this mawlid." Is this correct?

The questioner : Also, those who slaughter for the awliya (close friends of Allah) say, "We do not slaughter as an offering to them; we slaughter on the occasion of this mawlid."
The Shaykh : No, it is not correct. Those who slaughter for the awliya (close friends of Allah) and for graves go to the grave and slaughter at the grave to draw near to this deceased person, and perhaps they sometimes do it in the name of this man.
The questioner : No, if they do not say this, but rather do it during his mawlid, around it.
The Shaykh : A mawlid celebration for the deceased? It is the same thing, absolutely the same thing.
