What is the ruling on the slaughter of a Muslim if it is for reconciliation between the two tribes?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. For example, in some tribes, Shaykh, there is a dispute, and then they agree, for instance, to reconcile the two tribes by a number of animals that are slaughtered. Usually, if the number is small, they are slaughtered immediately. If the number is large, some are slaughtered and some are given for the reconciliation. In his intention, he actually invokes the name of Allah over them, but if we look at his intention, he would not have slaughtered them except for this reconciliation.
The Shaykh : There is a fear that this is from what is dedicated to other than Allah. However, it might be said that they did not slaughter them for the sake of competition, but rather for the sake of reconciliation. Reconciliation is from what is dedicated to Allah the Exalted, because Allah commands reconciliation, and reconciliation is better. But I wish this custom were completely erased; I wish it were all erased. It is said that this matter should be referred to the Shari'ah courts. Yes.
The questioner : If you please, Shaykh, it is known from the state of the people that if it were brought to them as meat, they would not accept it, because they are not in need of its meat. But if it is brought and slaughtered at the house or at such a place, even if it is just one, it is worth a thousand to them. The important thing for them is, meaning, the shedding of blood at this location.
