Slaughtering of animals during Eid-ul- Kabir or Eid-il-Adha or Qurbani, is an obligation that we are commanded to perform by Allah (SWT). Therefore, it is vital that we follow the Eid-il-Adha meat distribution rules and regulations. Below is a brief guide to the rules and recommendations of Qurbani:

Who Must Perform Qurbani?

Every Muslim must perform Qurbani. The only exceptions are as follows:

Those who do not possess 52.5gm of silver, or the wealth equivalent,

Those not of sound mind,

Those who have not yet reached and passed puberty.

Those who are travelling and are more than the Shar’i distance from home (approximately 40-45 kilometres)

You are permitted to donate Qurbani on behalf of other people, including those who have passed away. However, you are not expected to provide Qurbani animals on behalf of your children.

Who Can Receive Qurbani Meat?

Meat from Qurbani animals should be distributed equally in three parts. It should be given to the family, friends and the poor (both Muslim and non-Muslim alike). If you perform Qurbani with a partner/partners, the meat should be shared by weight, not by approximation. You cannot pay the butcher with the meat, fat and byproduct of the slaughtered animal. The skin can be kept for personal use, but if it is sold, the amount must be given to the poor.

When Must Qurbani Be Performed?

Qurbani must be performed on the tenth, eleventh and twelfth days of Dhul-Hijjah, the time of the festival of Eid ul-Adha. By the Gregorian calendar, that is the 12th, 13th and 14th of August in 2019, depending on the sighting of the moon. Qurbani must be performed as close to the completion of Eid Salah as possible.

When Must Qurbani Animals Be Purchased?

Qurbani animals should be purchased a few days before the sacrifice. They must be properly fed and well cared for in the intervening days.

How Should Qurbani Animals Be Sacrificed?

The animal should be slaughtered with a sharp knife to avoid causing undue suffering

The knife should not be sharpened in front of the animal

No animal should be slaughtered in the presence of another

It is best to slaughter the animal yourself, but if you do not know how, you should remain present whilst someone else sacrifices the creature. It is also necessary to say "Bismillahi Allahu Akbar" when slaughtering the animal. Slaughtered animals are not to be skinned until completely cold.
Which Animals Can Be Sacrificed?

The animals which are eligible for ILEYA (Eid-il-Adha) are:

Sheep and Goats at least one year in age (enough for one person)

Cows or Buffalo at least two years in age (enough for seven people)

Camels of at least five years in age (enough for seven people)

In addition, all animals must be healthy and free of disease, including the following conditions:

---They must not be blind, one-eyed or have lost a third (or more) of their sight

---They cannot be missing a third (or more) of their ear or tail, either through loss or since birth

---Their horn(s) cannot be broken off from their root

---They must not have a lame leg that is sufficiently weak that they are unable to walk on it

---They cannot be excessively thin or lean

---They must be able to walk themselves to the site of slaughter

---They cannot be toothless, or missing over half their teeth

There is no preference between male or female sacrificial animals. It is preferable that male sacrificial animals are castrated, but this is not compulsory.

Allahu a'alam.

MashaAllah

Jazakallahu khairan

ما شاء الله

Allah Akbar

May Allah Reward the writer and the OP

May Allah (SWT) Bless u for dis.

May Allah accept our ibadahs

And the animal must not be a stolen one

Jazakumullahu khairan, thanks

High time we need to choose another word instead of "sacrifice" or "sacrificial animal". CHRISTIAN think Muslims do "ìrúbó" for sacrificing Rams on ileya. Alawo think Muslims do "ìrúbó" for making tawaf around Kaaba.


Some years back a man who was alawo supposedly "reverted" to Islam and went to Hajj. After returning from Hajj he coverted to his Yoruba religion. He said muslims are doing exact same thing alawo do by roping white sheet around themselves.


This man forgot that there are 3 types of people that go to Hajj. There are 3 types of beings present in spiritual realm during hajj.


The first are those who answer the call of nabi Ibrahim (as). This set of people are on seeratalimustaqeen.


Second are those who answer the call of shaytan. This set of people are a lot. This is where you see people go to Hajj but after they return their behavior get worse or they revert to kufr.


Third is the call of death. This is a set of people who die in hajj


Pasuma was once answered the call of shaytan because it was after he returned from hajj he released Òròbòkíbó

The herbalist was right; Islam and paganism are one and the same. The only difference is that the latter is well packaged with books, set of rules and theology while the latter is crude and traditional. The early Muslims supported the opinion of the herbalist, see hadith below:

Narrated Aswad: Ibn Az-Zubair said to me, "Aisha used to tell you secretly a number of things. What did she tell you about the Ka'ba?" I replied, "She told me that once the Prophet said, 'O 'Aisha! Had not your people been still close to the pre-Islamic period of ignorance (infidelity)! I would have dismantled the Ka'ba and would have made two doors in it; one for entrance and the other for exit." Later on Ibn Az-Zubair did the same.
(Sahih Bukhari 1:3:128)

Worship at the Ka’aba and the kissing of the Black Stone are just the first of many practices adopted from 7th century paganism and repackaged within monotheistic Islam.

This one doesn't even understand anything. It is fruitless debating endlessly. I have no problem with the Hadith bcuz I understand.

Educate us what the hadith is talking about. It is not just saying 'I have no problem with the Hadith bcuz I understand' but telling us you own understanding of the context of the hadith. You have already said it all, the herbalist saw no difference between his experience in mecca and what he does traditionally at home.

shaking my head.

Before Nabi Muhammad (saw) people (herbalist, Zoroastrians, kufar, Jews, nasara etc used to do ziyara (visitation to the graves). After Nabi Muhammad (saw) came and meccans accepted Islam he stopped muslims from doing ziyara and the reason was given. He later allowed muslims to do ziyara.

Now the reason he stopped muslims from doing ziyara in this early stage of Islam was because he wanted muslims to be firm in the religion and to be able to discern legitimate activities allowed in Islam during ziyara from what they (herbalist, Zoroastrians, kufar, Jews, nasara etc) used to do during ziyara.

Note that both muslims and non muslims do ziyara till today but different intention. In Yorubaland, alawo still do ziyara and most often what they do there is against Islamic constitution. In Western world they too do ziyara by visiting graves and laying wreaths, candles etc. Sometimes they do things that are not in harmony with Islam. So you can see that visiting graves is the same whether by muslims and nonmuslims but their goals are different.


So before advent of Prophet muhammad (SAW) nonmuslims (herbalist, Zoroastrians, kufar, Jews, nasara etc) used to make tawaf around the Kaaba because all prophets before him did tawaf. But after all these prophets the people already corrupted prophetic version of essence of tawaf and started doing things that are not allowed in the religion brought by their prophets but they kept intact tawaf itself (Circumambulation). So when Nabi Muhammad (saw) came he now rectified their mistakes. So that mistakes he condemned and rectified is what someone nonmuslims still do today in different versions. But correct tawaf which is in harmony with God is what Muslims are doing today. So when that herbalist said muslims are doing what alawo do, he forget that tawaf was always ordained by religion of Abraham (as) but alawo corrupted their version of tawaf but they still have white robe around themselves and go around their shrines like Muslims do at the Kaaba but the essence is different. But CHRISTIANs forgotten and abandoned all these practices in the old testament.

Understand now?

This shows Islam is all about mohammed. If mohammed condemn a thing today, as bad, muslims will condemn it too, then if he turns around and justify the same practice tomorrow, Muslims will adjust. You are making Mohammed to be equal to Allah.

You are giving justification for evil. Under no circumstance is grave worship (or ancestral worship) justified. Remember in sahih Muslim, Mohammed used to pray in the cemetery. What makes Islam different form African paganism? The catholics also do it and call it 'the veneration of the saints'.

Islam borrowed a lot from existing cultures and practices, grave visitation inclusive. There is nothing wrong visiting the grave of a loved ones who had passed away but it is wrong to visit such site for a religious purpose and many Muslims visit the grave (shrine) of Mohammed as part of the hajj rituals.

Can you provide any prove or citation that the Jews and the Christians were making tawaf around the Kaaba before the advent of Islam? It is NEVER on record that the Jews and Christians held kaaba of any religious significance, either during the pre-Islamic or current islamic era. History has it that the kaaba is a home to about 360 idols (allah inclusive) before Mohammed turned mecca and Medina into a mono-cultural society. Always tell the truth even when it is not convenient.

see another reason I hate replying you?. Where did I say "grave worship"?. I even translated "ziyara". When is visiting graves becomes "grave worship"?. Bro, who did this to you?. Graves visitation is worldwide phenomenon. Sample of that is annual 9/11 rememberance of the victims. Purpose of graves visitation in Islam is reflections and to make Dua for the dead.

this is your opinion. How about those CHRISTIANs who visit graves, light candles and place cross on the graves and even bow their head for mins to reflect and to sobber?. Of what purpose they visit the graves when they recite Bible verses at the graves and even hired bishops or pastors?. Is that not for religious reason. Bro, stop being sentimental because of your irrational hatred for Islam. There are existing practices as I have explained earlier but those practices are 'contaminated' if I may use that word. Islam came to rectify or fix it properly. Another example is bowing down in sajda(prostrate with forehead touching the ground) in form of respect. It was never act of worship but act of respect throughout history of mankind. It is after Nabi Muhammad came he forbade muslims from doing that. But Hindus, alawo etc still preserve this tradition.

kindly visit your Old Testament that you have shamelessly abandoned or make use of when it is convenient for you. If you can't, I will just post a video that explains this for you. That's all

Relax bro. Your prophet was inconsistent here; he condemned a practice and later on approved it and you see no big deal about that. He cant be switching off and on like an electric current.

Stop this emotional blackmail. I debate against Islam, which is normal, just as thousands of Muslims debate against Christianity. It is a normal practice worldwide to condemn a belief system which you don't agree with, as long as you do it intellectually and not violently. I have no issue with visiting the grave of dead loved ones as long as there is no religious significance to it. As part of hajj, muslims visit and pray and the burial site of your prophet.

keep deceiving yourself. Visitation to the graves is universally acceptable regardless of religious beliefs. Whoever worships the graves that's their problem. And what constitutes "worship of the graves" according to you?

I should waste my time with you?. Hell, no. Help yourself. I believe this is the link where he explains links between Kaaba and all God's prophets

Abeg wetin be your problem? Why can't you do your Christianity in peace? Was Jesus in the Bible consistent? He save people in the OT by blood sacrifice but na human sacrifice fit do am for NT. How do you define paganism? Human sacrifice or Cattle Sacrifice? Jesus Christ of the Bible was never the same yesterday & today. He supported and permitted so many killings, rapes/ forceful marriages in the OT but he changed in the NT. Who is now switching on like Electric current. I can give you the verses for all these crimes if you need them.[/quote]

One lie can be a Mistake but your lies is getting out of hands. You really need to repent

Visiting the Prophet’s Mosque is an act that is Sunnah; it is not an obligatory action and has nothing to do with Hajj, nor is it an action that is required in order for Hajj to be complete. All the ahaadeeth which say that it is connected to Hajj or that say that visiting the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is connected to Hajj are fabricated and false. Whoever travels to Madeenah for the purpose of visiting the Mosque and praying therein, his intention is acceptable and his efforts will be rewarded. Whoever travels there only for the purpose of visiting the graves and seeking the help of their occupants, his intention is haraam and his actions are reprehensible. It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not travel to visit any mosques except three: al-Masjid al-Haraam [in Makkah], this Mosque of mine [in Madeenah] and al-Masjid al-Aqsa [in Jerusalem].” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1189; Muslim, 1397.

It was narrated from Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The best places to which a person may travel are this Mosque of mine, and the Ancient House (i.e., the Ka’bah).” Narrated by Ahmad, 3/350; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 1648.

The Hajj rites started from Ibrahim and his son Ismail. So the question is faulty in and of itself. Ibrahim and Ishmael were what? Jews/Christians/Muslims?
