What are the matters that hasten relief (faraj) and expand sustenance (rizq), and is sacrificing an animal with the intention of hastening relief and expanding sustenance legislated?

We seek refuge for the questioner from distress, impatience, and from finding the answer slow to come. We give him good tidings if he perseveres in supplication, seeking forgiveness, giving charity, and fearing Allah. We have previously explained the causes of abundant and straitened provision, the causes of tribulation, and the supplications for its removal. There is no evidence that slaughtering is more likely than other acts to hasten relief. Refer to the virtue of slaughtering for Allah.
