Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said: "The chapter on not slaughtering for Allah in a place where slaughter is performed for other than Allah" This transition by the author is as good as it gets. The first case is slaughtering for other than Allah, where the act itself is for other than Allah. This case is slaughtering for Allah, but in a place where slaughter is performed for other than Allah. One person slaughters a sacrificial animal, but he does so in a place where people slaughter for idols. This is the scenario of the issue. Let us suppose there is a place with a grave or an idol around it, where people slaughter livestock to draw near to the owner of that grave. If you wanted to sacrifice for Allah the Exalted and Majestic in this place, is it permissible or not? It is not permissible, because it resembles the polytheists in outward appearance. You are now outwardly in agreement with them and a polytheist, because you slaughtered in a place where nothing is slaughtered except for Allah, yet it is a place where slaughter is also performed for other than Allah. Perhaps Satan will introduce a bad intention into your heart, and you may come to believe that slaughtering in this place is better, or something similar. This is undoubtedly a danger to the human heart... . The important point is that it is not permissible for a person to slaughter for Allah in a place where slaughter is performed for other than Allah.
