Özet:

In various parts of Anadolu, a animal is sacrificed in different periods on the day of death and after death, in the name of sin victim for those who died in both the Sunni and Alevi Turkish communities. The subject of this article is today the origin of the sin victim cut for those who have died in some parts of Anadolu. The thesis suggested in the study is that the origin of the sin victim cut for the dead people by Muslim Turkish communities in Anadolu is related to the spirit and death belief in the pre-Islamic Turks. Despite the religious differences of this sacrifice which is not rewarded in the Islamic religion, its common practice indicates that it is related to pre-Islam beliefs. This result has been taken from the movement to the cultural background, i.e. the method of tuberculosis. When this method is based, the cultural connection between spirit, death, tomb, tomb stone and victim has been taken into account. According to the ethymological information, the word sin may be associated with the spirit of the soul, from the souls believed to be in man. According to the findings obtained, the origin of this victim is based on the cult of the ancestors in ancient Turks. According to this culture, the soul of the deceased person continues to be connected to this world for a certain time. Thus, the victims cut in the intense and commemorative ceremonies when the death vuku is found are linked to this spirit and death sense. Finally, in the pre-Islam period, the tradition of sacrificing the soul of the dead, which already existed among the Turks, continued to exist by winning Islamic motives after the change of religion.
