´It was narrated from Ibn Abbas that a man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said:` "O Messenger of Allah, I vowed to offer a sacrifice at Buwanah." He said: "Do you intend any action of Ignorance period?" He said: "No." He said: "Then fulfill your vow."

1؎: That is, it is a place in the lowlands of Makkah or behind Yanbu'. From this hadith, it is also understood that it is not permissible to slaughter (an animal) on an idol or a grave that people worship, and the animals that are slaughtered at the graves of the friends of Allah (awliya Allah) and are raised in their names, eating them is forbidden (haram), even if the name of Allah Ta'ala is mentioned at the time of slaughter, because the intention behind their slaughter is to venerate other than Allah (ghayr Allah), so it falls under «وَمَاأُهِلَّبِهِلِغَيْرِاللّهِ» (Surah al-Baqarah: 173).

Benefits and Issues: ➊ The meaning of having an aspect of ignorance (jahiliyyah) in the heart is that you did not designate this place for sacrifice because, in the era of ignorance, this location was considered to possess any kind of sanctity, and you did not vow to sacrifice there due to this supposed sanctity.
➋ Buwana is a mound near the seashore, which is located behind Yanbu.
