[Machine] "To buy the house, extract the spring, and what is similar to that, and then sacrifice a bird for it," Abu Ubaid said, "and this interpretation in the hadith means that they seek protection through this action, fearing that if they do not sacrifice and feed, something harmful from the jinn will afflict them. So the Prophet ﷺ invalidated this practice and forbade it."  

أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ الدَّارَ وَتَسْتَخْرِجَ الْعَيْنَ وَمَا أَشْبَهَ ذَلِكَ فَتَذْبَحَ لَهَا ذَبِيحَةً لِلطِّيَرَةِ قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ وَهَذَا التَّفْسِيرُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ مَعْنَاهُ أَنَّهُمْ يَتَطَيَّرُونَ إِلَى هَذَا الْفِعْلِ مَخَافَةَ أَنَّهُمْ إِنْ لَمْ يَذْبَحُوا فَيُطْعِمُوا أَنْ يُصِيبَهُمْ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ يُؤْذِيهِمْ فَأَبْطَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَذَا وَنَهَى عَنْهُ
