Sacrifice 2:196:196. and perform properly (i.e.

All the ceremonies according to the ways of Prophet Muhammad ), the Hajj and 'Umrah (i.e. the pilgrimage to Makkah) for Allh. but if You are prevented (from completing them), sacrifice a Hady (animal, i.e. a sheep, a cow, or a camel, etc.) such as You can afford, and do not shave Your heads until the Hady reaches the place of sacrifice. and Whosoever of You is ill or has an ailment In his scalp (necessitating shaving), He must pay a Fidyah (ransom) of either Observing Saum (fasts) (three days) or giving Sadaqah (charity - feeding six poor persons) or offering sacrifice (one sheep). Then if You are In safety and Whosoever performs the 'Umrah In the months of Hajj, before (performing) the Hajj, (i.e. Hajj-at-Tamattu' and Al-Qirn), He must slaughter a Hady such as He can afford, but if He cannot afford it, He should observe Saum (fasts) three days during the Hajj and seven days after his return (to his home), making ten days In all. This is for Him whose family is not present at Al-Masjid-alHarm (i.e. non-resident of Makkah). and fear Allh much and know that Allh is Severe In punishment. 5:2 2. O You who believe! Violate not the sanctity of the Symbols of Allh, nor of the sacred month, nor of the animals brought for sacrifice, nor the garlanded people or animals, etc. [Marked by the garlands on their necks made from the outer part of the treestems (of Makkah) for their security], nor the people coming to the sacred House (Makkah), seeking the Bounty and good pleasure of their Lord. but when You finish the Ihrm (of Hajj or 'Umrah), You may hunt, and let not the Hatred of some people In (once) stopping You from AlMasjidalHarm (at Makkah) lead You to transgression (and hostility on Your part). help You one another In AlBirr and AtTaqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another In sin and transgression. and fear Allh. Verily, Allh is Severe In punishment. 5:3 3. forbidden to You (for food) are: Al-Maytatah (the dead animals - cattlebeast not slaughtered), blood, the flesh of swine, and the meat of that which has been slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allh, or has been

slaughtered for idols, etc., or on which Allh's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering, and that which has been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by the goring of horns - and that which has been (partly) eaten by a wild animal - unless You are Able to slaughter it (before its death) and that which is sacrificed (slaughtered) on AnNusub (stone altars). (Forbidden) also is to use arrows seeking luck or decision, (all) that is Fisqun (disobedience of Allh and sin). This day, those who disbelieved have given up All hope of Your religion, so fear them not, but fear Me. This day, I have perfected Your Religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for You Islm as Your religion. but as for Him who is forced by Severe hunger, with no inclination to sin (such can eat These above-mentioned meats), Then surely, Allh is OftForgiving, Most Merciful. 5:27 27. and (O Muhammad ) recite to them (the Jews) the story of the two sons of Adam [Hbil (Abel) and Qbil (Cain)] In truth; when each offered a sacrifice (to Allh), it was accepted from the one but not from the other. the latter said to the former: "I will surely kill you. " the former said: "Verily, Allh accepts Only from those who are Al-Muttaqn (the pious - see V.2:2)." 6:145 145. Say (O Muhammad ): "I find not In that which has been inspired to Me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be Maytatah (a dead animal) or blood poured forth (by slaughtering or the like), or the flesh of swine (pork, etc.) for that surely is impure, or impious (unlawful) meat (of an animal) which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allh (or has been slaughtered for idols, etc., or on which Allh's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering). but Whosoever is forced by necessity without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits, (for Him) Certainly, Your Lord is OftForgiving, Most Merciful." 6:162:162. Say (O Muhammad ): "Verily, My Salt (prayer), My sacrifice, My living, and My dying are for Allh, the Lord of the 'Alamn (mankind, jinns and All that exists).

16:115 115. He has forbidden You Only Al-Maytatah (meat of a dead animal), blood, the flesh of swine, and any animal which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allh (or has been slaughtered for idols etc. or on which Allh's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering). but if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, and not transgressing, then, Allh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 22:28 28. that they may witness things that are of benefit to them (i.e. reward of Hajj In the Hereafter, and also some worldly gain from trade, etc.), and mention the Name of Allh on appointed days (i.e. 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th Day of Dhul-Hijjh), over the beast of cattle that He has provided for them (for sacrifice) (at the time of their slaughtering by saying: Bismillah, Wallhu-Akbar, Allhumma Minka Wa Ilaik). Then eat thereof and feed therewith the poor who have a very hard time. 22:33 33. In them (cattle offered for sacrifice) are benefits for You for an appointed term, and afterwards they are brought for sacrifice unto the Ancient House (the Haram - sacred territory of Makkah city). 37:100-107:100. "My Lord! grant Me (offspring) from the righteous." 101. so we gave Him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy. 102. and, when He (his son) was old enough to walk with him, He said: "O My son! I have seen In a dream that I am slaughtering You (offer You In sacrifice to Allh), so look what You think!" He said: "O My father! do that which You are commanded, Insh' Allh (if Allh Will), You shall find Me of As-Sbirin (the patient ones, etc.)." 103. then, when they had both submitted themselves (to the will of Allh), and He had laid Him prostrate on his forehead (or on the side of his forehead for slaughtering); 104. and we called out to him: "O Abraham!

105. You have fulfilled the dream (vision)!" Verily! Thus do we reward the Muhsinn (good-doers - see V.2:112). 106. Verily, that indeed was a manifest trial 107. and we ransomed Him with a great sacrifice (i.e. ?EO - a ram); 108. and we left for Him (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) In later times. 48:25 25. they are the ones who disbelieved (in the Oneness of Allh Islmic Monotheism), and hindered You from AlMasjidalHarm (the sacred mosque of Makkah) and the sacrificial animals, detained from reaching their place of sacrifice. had there not been believing men and believing women whom You did not know, that You may kill them, and on whose account a sin would have been committed by You without (your) knowledge, that Allh might bring into his Mercy whom He will, if they (the believers and the disbelievers) should have been apart, we Verily had punished those of them who disbelieved, with painful torment.

Doing Udhiyyah(Sacrifice) on behalf of the dead

November 26, 2009AbdurRahman.orgLeave a commentGo to comments

Rate This By the Noble Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-`Uthaymeen source : AlBaseerah.org Specail Eid al Adha Newsletter Question: Is it recommended to make the Udhiyyah (sacrifice) on behalf of the dead, as is the case with the living,even if they (the dead) did not order with it (the sacrifice), or is it a special worship limited to the living only, with the exception of the deceased who have ordered us with it? Answer: What we see is the Udhiyyah is legislated for the living only because this is what is reported from the Messenger (Peace be upon him). It is for the living only, with the exception of the dead if they entrusted someone to do it for them. Then it should be done on their behalf because the dead person has ordered with it from his own wealth, and his wealth is his to spend as he wishes as long as it is not in disobedience to Allah. So do as he ordered. As for the living, then he sacrifices on his behalf, but there is no objection if he sacrifices and says this is on behalf of my household and he intends with that statement the living and the dead, as is apparent from the actions of the Messenger (Peace be upon him) when he used to say this is on behalf Muhammad, the family of Muhammad and the Ummah of Muhammad, the apparent meaning is that it includes the living and the dead. As for sacrificing only on behalf of the dead, then this has not been related on the Prophet (Peace be upon him). Indeed the daughters of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) died -three of his daughters died during his lifetime and he did not sacrifice on their behalf; his wife Khadijah died and she was from the most beloved of his wives yet he did not sacrifice on her behalf, and his uncle Hamzah (radhi Allaahu Anhu) was martyred, and he did not sacrifice on his behalf. If this was among the legislated matters, then the Messenger (Peace be upon him) would have legalized it for his Ummah either by his statement, action, or approval. As none of that happened, it is known that it is not legislated. However, we do not say it is forbidden, or it is an innovation, or it is not allowed, because it is similar to a charity as some of the scholars have compared it with sadaqah (charity) on behalf of the dead, and sadaqah on behalf of the dead has been confirmed by the Sunnah.

The Rulings of The Sacrifice To Be Done On The Day of 'Eid Al-Adhaa

So with their (the Muslims) consensus of the sacrificing having been legislated, they have differed as to whether it is obligatory or a Sunnah, and there are two sayings: The first saying is that it is obligatory and it is the saying of Al-Awzaaee and Al-Laith and the madhab of Abee Haneefah and one of two reports from Imaam Ahmad. Shaikh ul Islaam said it is one of two sayings of Imaam Maalik or that it is apparent from the madhab of Maalik. The second saying is that it is a highly recommended Sunnah and it is a saying of the majority, and it is the saying of Ash-Shaafiee as well as Maalik and Ahmad as is wellknown from the both of them. However, many of those who hold this opinion have stated that abandoning it for the one who is able to perform it is disliked and it is mentioned in Jawaahir al ikleel sharh mukhtasar khaleel that if the people of a land abandon it, then they are to be fought against for that reason - because it is from the Islamic rites.

Performing the sacrifice and foot and mouth disease Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez Aal-ash-Shaykh made the following announcement on Monday 5 March 2001: "It is permissible for Muslims living in Europe not to sacrifice animals during this 'Eed al-Adhaa festival because of the foot-and-mouth disease. If Muslims in Europe find themselves in a situation where they are prevented from sacrificing a beast after what has been said about the state of the animal, they must abide by the rules. The sacrifice of an animal is not an obligation for Muslims but it is a Sunnah. Those who have the means to sacrifice an animal can do it. For those who do not, it is not obligatory." ... Published: 5 March 2001 The ruling regarding making the sacrifice and then leaving it Question: What is the ruling about someone who slaughters his sacrifice and then leaves it, is this rewarded or not? Response: It is upon the one who slaughters his sacrifice to make sure it reaches those who are rightfully in need and it is not permissible to slaughter it and then leave it. However, if one were to take a little from it and eat it and give it (the remainder) in charity, then this is rewarded. Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen Fataawa al-Hajj wal-'Umrah waz-Ziyaarah - Page 124
