Sacrifice - rules, guidelines and modern issues

 Accepting meat of an animal sacrificed by a Qadiani

          The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) is the Final Prophet and there cannot be any prophet after Him.  This is a basic tenet of belief of Islam, which has been established by the verses of the Holy Quran and the Frequently-occurring (Mutawatir) Hadith and also by the Consensus of the Ummah.  Rejecting it or trying to explain it in some other manner which leads to a different explanation other than the one given by the Elders of the Ummah or trying to bypass it in using figurative interpretations (Tawil) is explicit apostasy.  Allah Most High says in the Holy Quran:

Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon him) is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Last of the Prophets (ending the chain of the Prophets). And Allah is the Perfect Knower of everything.

Surah Ahzaab (33:40)

          There are many Hadith in the canons of Hadith and the whole corpus of Hadith literature which have the status of the Mutawatir Hadith with respect to their meanings that attest to this.  As an example, a Hadith from Sahih Bukhari and Jame’ Tirmidhi are being mentioned.

          There is a Hadith in Sahih Bukhari:

No prophet of any kind can come after me.

          (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith No. 4154)

          There is a Hadith in Jame’ Tirmidhi:

          The Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) has said: Verily, Prophethood has been terminated.  After me there will neither be any Nabi nor any Rasool.

          (Jame’ Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 2441)

It is mentioned in Fatawa A’alamgiri:

          Translation: If anybody does not hold the belief that Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) isn’t the Final Prophet, that person is not a Muslim at all.

In light of the aforementioned point, all the scholars of the world have unambiguously declared Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadiani and his followers to be apostates and out of the fold of Islam.  Thus, the followers of Mirza who call themselves “Qadiani” are not Muslims at all whereas it is mentioned in the rules of slaughtering an animal that the person doing this must be a Muslim.  If the person who is slaughtering the animal is a non-Muslim or apostate, then the slaughtered animal is not Halaal.  In light of this, the animal slaughtered by Qadianis is Haraam.  Neither is their sacrifice of an animal a true sacrifice nor is their slaughter a true one.  Eating the meat of such an animal is not permissible.  Similarly, it is not permissible for the Muslims to give meat of a slaughtered animal to them either.  As given in Fatawa A’alamgiri:
