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.

  1. Is it permissible?
  2. If yes, is it halal for everyone? Can everyone eat it?

Superstitions

Q:

  1. Is there anything in Islam that one should not see his or her face or body in mirror at night?
  2. Is it necessary for a women to wash her hair or nails which shed off at the time of haidh while reciting kalimah shahadah before disposing of if?

Washing one's hands last

Q: We live in the same flat eat dinner together, one of the person among us, use to finish dinner late and wash his hands after all of us. Initially I felt like he is following sunnah but later he started doing it intentionally like he finished his dinner before all of us but still waits for all of us and even sometimes if he get up from dining, he don’t wash his hands until and unless we all washes ours. He roams around the house with those unwashed hands. We usually meet for dinner only and this person intentionally starts his dinner in last and washes his hands in last. i.e. after everyone. He is the first guy who sit on dining but still he waits for everyone. Couple of times, I told him to start the dinner, he didn’t, he used some tricks here and there but didn’t started and even same happened to wash the hands after dinner. I am
confused if this is his superstition or sunnah or what? It seems like me others also observed him but never discussed it, as it is quit silly but I feel uneasy joining with such person who has superstition or shirk. Please appreciate if you could spread some light on this activity and send
some rules of eating and ethics.
