Slaughtering for Allah Almighty is one of the best financial acts of worship, because it combines obedience with the spending of money, which is beloved to the soul. Allah has conjoined prayer and slaughter in the Qur'an, because prayer is the best physical act of worship and slaughter is the best financial act of worship, and they are among the greatest means of drawing near to Allah. It is stipulated that this should not be accompanied by a corrupt belief.
