Praise be to Allaah.
It is not permissible to sell part of the sacrificial animal or
udhiyah, or to sell all of it, except in cases where it is done in
accordance with the purpose of the sacrifice, because what a person
has given to Allaah cannot be sold at all.
It says in al-Mughni: It is not permissible to sell any part of it –
i.e., the sacrificial animal – but if the butcher is poor and he gives
him something because he is poor, in addition to the wages that he
gives him, that is permissible, because he is entitled to take some of
it because of being poor, not as payment forhis work. End quote
(3/222)
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen said: It is haraam to sell any part of the
udhiyah, whether the meat or anything else, even the skin. The butcher
should not be given anything from it in partial payment for his work,
because that is like selling. (Risaalah Ahkaam al-Hadiy wa'l-Udhiyah)
And he (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: It is not permissible to
dispose of it – i.e., the udhiyah – in ways that would prevent going
ahead with the sacrifice,such as selling, giving away, giving as a
pledgeand so on, unless he replaces it with something that serves the
purpose pf sacrifice better, not for his own ends. If he selects a
sheep for sacrifice then he decides that he wantsto keep it for some
reason and replaces it with one that is better so that he can keep it,
that is not permissible, because he is taking back something that he
had set aside for Allaah for his own ends and notfor serving the
purpose of sacrifice in a better way.
With regard to rams, which are male sheep, the ram should have reached
the age of one year in order for it to be permissible as a sacrifice,
but the Sunnahshows that it is permissible to sacrifice ajadh'ah. The
majority of scholars say that this applies only to jadh'ah of sheep,
not of goats. A jadh'ah of sheep is one that is six months old, but
the older it is than six months the better, because some of the
madhhabs say that jadh'ah means one that is a year old.
The evidence that indicates that the desirable age according to
sharee'ah is one year is the marfoo' hadeeth of Jaabir (may Allaah be
pleased with him):
"Do not slaughter anything but a two-year-old animal, unless it is too
difficult for you, in which case slaughter a jadh'ah sheep."
Narrated by Muslim 1963.
The apparent meaning of the hadeeth is that a jadh'ah of sheep is only
acceptable if a two-year-old is not available. But the majority of
scholars interpreted that as referring to what is mustahabb, and they
quoted the following as evidence:
1 – It was narrated from one of the companions of the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that "a jadha'h is sufficient for
what a two-year-old is sufficient." Narrated by al-Nasaa'i (4383) and
Abu Dawood (2799); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.
2 – It was narrated that 'Uqbah ibn 'Aamir (may Allaah be pleased with
him) said: We sacrificed a jadh'ah of sheep alongwith the Messenger
of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Narrated by
al-Nasaa'i (4382). Its isnaad was classed as qawiy by al-Haafiz in
al-Fath, and as saheeh byal-Albaani. See the commentary on Zaad
al-Ma'aad (2/317).
It should be noted that the same conditions are stipulated for
'aqeeqah as for udhiyah: the animal should be free of faults and of
the proper age. The evidence for that is qiyaas (analogy), on the
basis that both are sacrifices.
Thus it may be known that it is acceptable for you to sacrifice a
sheep that has reached the ageof six months. And Allaahknows best.
