The ruling on slaughtering in the place where the newborn was delivered

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And among the customs as well: they slaughter a ram in the place where the newborn was delivered at the time of his birth. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding this?

Answer:
Likewise, this is invalid, a denounced religious innovation, and it is obligatory to abandon it; because of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whoever introduces into our matter something that does not belong to it is rejected.من أحدث في أمرنا ما ليس منه فهو رد
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 17:1261
, meaning: in our religion. And there is no basis in the religion for slaughtering a sacrificial animal in the place of the newborn. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected.من عمل عملًا ليس عليه أمرنا فهو رد
Sahih Muslim 1718b
, meaning: so it is rejected. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
