Answer

(Fatwa: 1629/1397=B/1429)

It is absolutely unlawful and haram to slaughter animal or to cook food and feed it in the name of other than Allah, one who involves in such acts is sinner, his Eiman will remain intact but he will be utterly sinful. Such a person must repent sincerely to Allah and seek His forgiveness. In future, he must not observe any act in the name of anyone except Allah.
