The sacrifice; truth; importance and affairs (2nd part)
The ruling of sacrifice is for all Muslims, it is not reserved for pilgrims
What is related to the performance of Khalilullah, peace be upon him, is a special position; Like Rami Jamrat in Mina, Sa’i between Safa and Marwa and seven times Tawaf, these things are reserved for pilgrims and are only necessary for them, but things that are not related to a specific place and can be done anywhere; Like sacrifice, they are obligatory on all Muslims; As the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, all his companions and followers and all the Islamic Ummah in every region and region and everywhere have implemented this obligation, and this work is not only considered an Islamic obligation but also one of the rites of Islam.
Almighty Allah says: “«والبُدْنَ جَعَلْنَاهَا لَكُمْ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ الله لَكُمْ فِيهَا خَير»”; Translation: “And We have made (sacrifices of) fat and fat camels for you from divine rituals, in them there is good and blessing for you.” What is meant by the rites and rituals of the sacrifice and… is that they are the rites and rituals of Allah’s religion. Yes, it is obvious that the sacrifice in the position of mine, where the sacrifice started from there, is better and causes more rewards and blessings.
Therefore, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sacrificed 100 camels in his last Hajj, of which 63 of them were given to Nahr with his blessed hand and the rest to Hazrat Ali, may Allah be pleased with him. Sacrificing this large number of camels was because of this virtue, otherwise the habit of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in Madina of Tayyaba was generally to slaughter two lambs. Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, says: “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, sacrificed every year during his ten-year stay in Madina at Tayyaba.”
On the other hand, many times if the days of sacrifice came during the journey, he would not leave it. Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, says: ” كنا مع النبي صلىاللهعليهوسلم في سفر فحضر الأضحى فاشتركنا في البقرة سبعة…»” translation: (Once we were with him on a journey, and we sacrificed one cow on behalf of seven people.)
The Companions of the Prophet (may Allah be pleased with them) used to say: «كُنَّا نُسَمِّنُ الْأُضْحِيَّةَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ يُسَمِّنُونَ» Translation: “We used to fatten our sacrifices in Madina, and this was the habit of all Muslims.”
The custom of the Holy Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was to perform his sacrifice at the Eidgah after the Eid prayer. So that all people know about this Sharia rule and learn the customs of sacrifice, and all people also know that it is not permissible to slaughter a sacrifice before the Eid prayer. Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّىاللهُعليهِوسلَّم يَذْبَحُ وَ يَنْحَرُ بِالمُصَلَّى» Translation: “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, used to slaughter his sacrifice at the Eidgah.” Most of the time, the reason for this was that in the Holy Quran, the sentence of sacrifice was introduced in the same way. It is stated in Surah Kausar: «فصل لربک وانحر» Translation: “Pray for your Lord and then sacrifice.”
Hafiz Ibn Kathir, may Allah have mercy on him, quoting the commentators of the Companions and Tabi’in; Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, Atta, Mujahid, Ikramah, and Hassan, may Allah have mercy on him, the words “Wanhar” means sacrifice. And Hazrat Ikrama Ata and Qatadah said: It is meant by the “Lerbak season” of the Eid prayer and the “Wanhar” of the sacrifice.
Briefly t, based on this Qur’anic verse, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) made the Eid prayer and the sacrifice obligatory and necessary for the Ummah; Whether they are in Mecca or Madina or in another part of the earth; And according to the Qur’anic reference, he performed the Eid prayer on the victim.
Hazrat Bara bin Azib, may Allah be pleased with him, says: Once, on the day of Eid al-Adha, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, took his companions with him to the Baqi cemetery. The Eid prayer is followed by the slaughtering of the sacrifices. Whoever acts in this way has acted according to our Sunnah, and whoever sacrifices before the Eid prayer, his sacrifice has not been performed, but is merely meat to be eaten and has nothing to do with the sacrifice and its reward.
This hadith is found in Sahih Bukhari, and the occurrence of this current near Baqi Gharagad is mentioned in the narration of Imam Jisas’s rulings of the Qur’an.
From the mentioned verses of the Qur’an, hadith narrations and interaction of the Companions of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, it is clearly proven that the worship of the sacrifice has been established since the time of Adam, peace be upon him, but its obligation on the day of Eid al-Adha has been passed down as a tradition and a reminder of Prophet Ibrahim, peace be upon him, and in the texts of the book and tradition, It is one of the important Islamic obligations that is necessary in every region, every country and every time.
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and his companions, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, have always performed the duty of sacrifice in Madina at Tayyaba. Today, those who make the sacrifice special to Makkah not as an act of worship, but as a party for pilgrims, their words are based on ignorance of the Qur’an, hadith, and the laws of all the prophets, peace be upon them, and their history. They should know that if the purpose of the sacrifice was simply to welcome pilgrims to Makkah, what would be the difference between doing this work before or after the Eid prayer?!
And what is the meaning of the prohibition of sacrifice after the evening of the 12th of Dhu al-Hijjah? Don’t pilgrims stay in Makkah on the 13th of Dhul Hijjah? If the purpose was to welcome pilgrims, what need would remain for the conditions that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stated for sacrifices such as Umar, etc.? Also, does the guest only need meat and not other things? If feasting was the purpose of Sharia, like preparing meat through sacrifice, but more than that, the duty of providing food would be given to Muslims.
Especially when the sacrifice of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and his Companions, may Allah be pleased with him, is established every year in Madinah, presenting another theory and viewpoint contrary to it and then imposing it on Islam is very daring.
