The ruling on slaughtering in Ramadan and dedicating its reward to the deceased

Question:
The listener Fayyadh Munir al-Mutayri sent a message asking a question similar to the previous one. He says: Is it permissible to slaughter a good deed for the deceased in the last ten nights of Ramadan, since there are people who say that this act is a religious innovation?

Answer:
There is no harm in that. If one slaughters a sheep or something else in Ramadan and distributes it to the poor, or to his relatives, or to his neighbors in this noble month, this is a matter of seeking to multiply the reward, for charity in Ramadan is multiplied. And if he slaughters it outside of Ramadan and gives it in charity as well, there is nothing wrong with that. Charity for the deceased is not a religious innovation; it is a recommended practice, in Ramadan and in other times, whether with meat, fruit, money, or clothing; all of it is good.
