negligence on his part, it is permissible to slaughter it and it will
be sufficient for him. However, if it was broken as a result of
something that he did such as tying it too tightly or out of
negligence, he must replace it with a similar one.
What should be done with Udh-hiyah?
You have the right to eat from yourUdh-hiyah, and give some of the
meat to your relatives and neighbors and the poor people. Allaah The
Almighty Says )what means(:}So eat of them and feed the miserable and
poor.{]Quran 22:28[
The Prophet,, said:"Eat and save, and give in charity."In another
narration he said:"Eat, feed and save."]Al-Bukhaari[ The exact amount
of each part was not specified in the verse or in theHadeeth. Thus, it
is favorable to divide the slaughtered sacrifice into three parts; he
may eat one third, give one third as charity and give one third as a
present. This is recommended and not obligatory. It is prohibited to
sell any part of the slaughtered animal such as the meat, fat, skin
and so forth because this money is given as charity so, it is
impermissible to sell any of it. It is also impermissible to give the
butcher any part of the sacrifice for his fees but it is permissible
to give him something as a present or as charity.
If you want to practice thisSunnahyou should do what Umm
Salamahmentioned as she narrated that the Prophet,, said:"When you see
the new moon of Thul-Hijjah, if any one of you wants to offer a
sacrifice, then he should stop cutting his hair and nails until he
offers his sacrifice."According to another narration the Prophet,,
said:"He should not remove anything from his hair or skin."
ThisHadeethindicates that the one who wants to offer a sacrifice
should not cut any of his hair or nails from the beginning
ofThul-Hijjahuntil he slaughters his sacrifice. If the days
ofThul-Hijjahstarted and someone intended during these days to offer a
sacrifice, he should stop cutting his hair and nails from the moment
he intended to offer a sacrifice and there is no harm regarding what
he had cut before intending to offer a sacrifice.
Some people might think that if someone who intends to offer a
sacrifice and cut some of his hair or nails, his sacrifice will not be
accepted, but this is a mistake as there is no relation between the
acceptance of the sacrifice and cutting some of the hair or nails.
However, the one who cuts some of his hair or nails disobeys the
orders of the Prophet,, and he should ask for the forgiveness of
Allaah The Almighty, but this cutting does not affect the acceptance
of his sacrifice.
If someone needed to cut some of his hair or nails because of being
wounded or because his nail was broken and he needs to cut it or cut
part of his skin that harms him, it is alright to do so. It should be
noted that this ruling includes the one who wanted to slaughter a
sacrifice for himself or on behalf of another person, but the one who
was assigned as a proxy by another person by virtue of authorization
or a will is not included in this ruling.
The people on whose behalf the sacrifice is slaughtered are not
required to refrain from cutting their hair or nails. The proof of
this is that the Prophet,, used to offer a sacrifice on behalf of his
family )the family of Muhammad( and it was not narrated that he used
to forbid them from cutting their hair or nails.
Fulfill this great rite and do not be among those who are deprived;
who spend a lot and slaughter sacrifices all the year, but who become
lazy when the time of'Eedcomes. Be keen on doing good and righteous
deeds such as maintaining kinship ties, visiting relatives, abandoning
hatred, envy and grudges as well as purifying your heart, being kind
to the poor, the needy and the orphans by helping them and making them
happy.
