Slaughtering in the name of a buzurg
Q: I live in Jammu and Kashmir India. Here we have a tradition that whenever anyone is ill or has some problem or on the occasion of joy, the people make qurbani (zabiha) of a goat or sheep or any other halal animal and take that to a shrine (a sufi buzurg’s grave) and distribute it among people. However the slaughtering is done according to shariah in the name of the so and so sufi buzarg.
- Is it permissible?
- If yes, is it halal for everyone? Can everyone eat it?
