The Ruling on Eating the Slaughter of Those Who Hold Associative Beliefs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it permissible to eat the slaughter of those who hold beliefs involving shirk (associating partners with Allah), such as making vows, slaughtering animals, and making du'a' (supplication) to those they call awliya (close friends of Allah) in their opinion? Given that these people have not been presented with sufficient evidence to remove the doubts they hold?
Answer: One who is known for holding a defective belief involving shirk, his slaughter is not eaten. If he is among Muslims, he has no excuse; because he did not ask and did not care. If it is known that he worships other than Allah among those they call awliya (close friends of Allah), such as the worshippers of al-Badawi, the worshippers of al-Husayn, the worshippers of al-Hasan, and the worshippers of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) , and the worshippers of Ibn 'Arabi and the worshippers of others whom they call awliya (close friends of Allah), these are disbelievers whose slaughter is not eaten. And likewise others who worship other than Allah, make vows to them, slaughter for them, or call upon them for aid; because this is major shirk (associating partners with Allah). This is the practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah). This is the practice of Quraysh and their like with Hubal, al-Lat, and al-'Uzza. And this is the practice of the people of Noah with Wadd, Suwa', and their like. Such people are considered among those to whom the evidence has been established; because they are among Muslims, and the Qur'an has reached them, the Sunnah has reached them, and the words of the scholars have reached them. As for one to whom none of that has reached, he is one who is indifferent, does not care, and does not ask. But as for one who is in lands far from the Muslims, from the people of the period of ignorance (ahl al-fatra) to whom the call has not reached and who have not heard the word of Allah or His Messenger, his ruling in worldly matters is that of the disbelievers, and his affair is left to Allah in the Hereafter. In worldly matters, his slaughter is not eaten as long as he does the deeds of the disbelievers, but his affair is left to Allah on the Day of Resurrection. He will be tested on the Day of Resurrection, and if he obeys the commands, he will enter Paradise, and if he disobeys, he will enter the Fire. This is the correct view regarding the people of the period of ignorance (ahl al-fatra). Yes.
