Shaykh Abd al-Sa'di said: "Jin (devil) get pleasure with men obey him, worship him, praise him and cover him (do shirk and kufr in Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala). While humans obtain pleasure to be fulfilled and achievement of his desire to cause the help of the genie to satisfy his desire. So, people who devote themselves to the genie, (in return), the genie is going to help him in meeting his needs. "[2]

Legal umbal and offerings in Islam

Sacrifices which means release some property in order to draw closer to Allaah [3], is a great and glorious forms of worship are only worthy addressed to Allaah. As in his words,

قل إن صلاتي ونسكي ومحياي ومماتي لله رب العالمين لا شريك له وبذلك أمرت وأنا أول المسلمين

"Say, 'Verily prayer, sembelihanku (kurbanku), my life and my death are for Allah, the Lord of hosts, no partner for him, and so that's what prompted me and I was the one who first surrendered (to Allah).'" (Surat al-An'am: 162-163).

In another verse, Allaah said to His Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam,

فصل لربك وانحر

"So establish regular prayer for your Lord (Allaah) and berkurbanla." (Surah al-Kautsar: 2).

The second paragraph indicates the primacy of worship glory prayer and sacrifice, as did two of worship is a testament to the love of Allaah and purification of His religion for purely, as well as the approach to Him with heart, oral and limb, also the sacrifice which is the sacrifice of a beloved treasure to the Essence of the soul is more beloved, that Allaah. [4]

Therefore, it presents this worship to other than Allaah (whether it is a goblin, ghost or human) in order to glorify and get closer to him, which is known as sacrificial or offerings, is a very great sin, even a major shirk which could cause the perpetrator out of Islam (the infidels). [5]

Allaah says,

إنما حرم عليكم الميتة والدم ولحم الخنزير وما أهل به لغير الله

"He hath only forbidden you dead, blood, pork, and offered sacrifices to other than Allah." (Surah al-Baqarah: 173).

Imam Ibn Jarir Tabari said, "It means that offered sacrifices to the gods (other than Allaah) and idols, called a name other than his (when slaughtered), or dedicated to the gods besides Him." [6]

In a hadith is authentic, from Ali bin Abi Talib radhiallahu 'anhu, that the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said, "Allah has cursed the person who slaughter (sacrifice) to other than Him." [7]

This hadeeth indicates a major threat to people who slaughter (sacrifice) to other than Him, with the curse of Allaah is kept away from his grace. Because of this act, including a very big sin, even including shirk to Allaah, so that the perpetrators deserve to mandapatkan curse of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and kept away from his grace. [8]

It is important to be reminded in this discussion, that the main factor that makes the magnitude of this evil deed, not merely because of large or small sacrifices offered to other than Him, but because of the exaltation and fear in the hearts of those who offered sacrifices to other than- Him, that all this is that the great heart of worship that is only worthy addressed to Allaah alone.

Therefore, despite the sacrifice which is offered is very small and insignificant, even though a fly, if accompanied with exaltation and fear in the hearts to other than Him, then this also includes major shirk. [9]

In a friend atsar of Salman al-Farisi radhiallahu 'anhu, he said, "There are people who go to heaven because there is a fly and go to hell because of a fly, there are two people who passed (region) of a people who are meditating (worship) idols them and they say, 'No one is allowed to pass through (local) we are today except after he offered something (as a sacrifice / tumbal our idols).' So they said to the people first, 'Kurbankanlah something (for our idols )! "But, the man was reluctant, in another narration: the man said, 'I'm not going to sacrifice to anyone other than Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala'-, then he too was killed (and then he go to heaven). Then, they told the people the second, 'Kurbankanlah something (for our idol)!',-In other history: the man said, 'I do not mempenyai something to sacrificed.' And they said again, 'Kurbankanlah something though (only) a fly! ", he said (with disparaging), 'What does it mean a fly,' and then he too with a sacrifice fly, another history-in: then they let him through, then (in the Hereafter) he go to hell. '" [ 10]

Participate and Assist in the Law of Procedure and offering umbal

Once we know that doing this jaahiliyyah ritual is a very great sin, even including shirk in Allah, which means that exposed the threat in his words,

إن الله لا يغفر أن يشرك به ويغفر ما دون ذلك لمن يشاء ومن يشرك بالله فقد افترى إثما عظيما

"Verily, Allah will not forgive (sins) shirk (associating partners with Him), and He forgives all sins that apart from (shirk), for whom He wills. Any person who ascribe Allah, then indeed he has a very big sin. "(Surat an-Nisa ': 48).

So participate and assist the implementation of this event in all its forms, is a sin, a very large, because including mutual assistance in a very large immoral deeds to God, that is shirk.

Allaah says,

وتعاونوا على البر والتقوى ولا تعاونوا على الإثم والعدوان واتقوا الله إن الله شديد العقاب

"And please-menolonglah you in (do), virtue and piety, and not to mutual help in sin and transgression. And fear Allah, verily Allah is severe in punishment. "(Surah al-Maaidah: 2).

Imam Ibn Kathir said, "(In this paragraph) Allaah commanded His servants are faithful to each other mutual assistance in doing good deeds, that it is al-birr (righteousness), and leave acts of wrongdoing, which it is piety, and banning them from the (act) assist each other in falsehood and mutual assistance in the act of sin and immorality. "[11]

And in the hadeeth about the prohibition of usury and illicit deeds help and support this act, from Jabir ibn Abdillah radhiallahu 'anhu he said, "The Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam has cursed the person who devour usury, those who cultivate it, people who write (transaction) , and two men who became witnesses, they are all equal (in sin). "[12]

Imam an-Nawawi said, "In this hadith (there are arguments that show) Prohibition help / support (the implementation of actions) vanity (immoral)." [13]

Utilizing Legal Food / Property Used for umbal / offering

If these foods such as animal sacrifices, it should not be utilized in any form, either to be eaten or sold, because the animal sacrifices have been offered to other than Allaah, then the meat is eaten haram and impure, the same ruling on the beef carcass. [14 ] Allaah says,

إنما حرم عليكم الميتة والدم ولحم الخنزير وما أهل به لغير الله

"He hath only forbidden you dead, blood, pork, and offered sacrifices to other than Allah." (Surah al-Baqarah: 173).

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah when interpreting this verse, he said, "All animals are slaughtered for other than Allah must not eat meat." [15]

And because the meat is forbidden to eat, it means forbidden to be traded, based on the words of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, "Verily, Allaah if forbidden to eat something, then He (also) forbids price (commercially available) . '[16]

As if the food is in addition to animal sacrifices, as well as property, then there are some scholars who equate law with mengharamkannya and animal sacrifices are offered to other than Allaah [17]

But a stronger opinion on this issue, God willing, is the opinion expressed by Shaykh Abdul 'Aziz ibn Baz who allow the use of food and property, other than slaughter, because the legal origin of the food / the property is lawful and have been abandoned by their owners.

Shaykh Abdul 'Aziz ibn Baz said, "(Opinions are saying) that money (wealth), food, beverages and animal that are still alive, presented by the owner to (gods besides Allah, be it) to the Prophet, guardian or (gods- worship) others, forbidden to be taken and utilized, this opinion is not true. Because all it is a treasure that can be utilized and have been abandoned by their owners, and not the same hukumya carcass (the clean and unclean), the (ruling) may be taken (and used), as property (other) left by the owner to whom who wants it, such as grains and fruit korma left by the farmers and harvesters palm trees for the poor.

Theorem that shows this skill is (actions) of Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam (when) he took the treasure (which is presented by the polytheists) that (stored) in treasury (the idol) al-Laata, and he sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam (use to) pay off (a friend who named) 'Urwah bin Mas'ud ats-Tsaqafi. Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam (in this hadith) do not think he offered the gifts to the (idol) al-Laata as (cause) to prohibit the taking (and take advantage of the property) when it can be (taken).

However, people who see someone (else) who do shirk it (offer of food / wealth to other than Allaah), from among the fools and the perpetrators of shirk, obliged him to deny such actions and to explain to perpetrators of that act is shirk it is included shirk, so that no prejudice arises that silence and did not deny (the act), or take the whole / part of the property offering, is proof that menuinjukkan bolehnya bolehnya deeds and sacrifice with such property to other than Allaah. Due to shirk is kemungkaran (disobedience) that most large (sin), it must be denied / advised people who do it.

As if the food (which is dedicated to other than Allaah) is made from animal meat that was slaughtered by the perpetrators of shirk, the (ruling) forbidden (to be eaten / used), as well as fat and gravy, because the (meat) sacrifices shirk its legal actors together with the (meat) carcasses, thus forbidden (to eat) and make other unclean food mixed with it. In contrast to (for example) or bread (food), others are not mixed with the (meat) sacrifices have been, then this is all lawful for the person who took it (to be eaten / used), as well as money and other property (permitted to be taken), as an explanation ago, wallahu a'lam.
