1. Its
definition:
The sacrifices are the sheep, camels and cows that are
slaughtered on the day of Al- Adha Eid and the days of Al-Tashreeq,
approaching Allah, the Exalted.
2. Its
legality:
The sacrifice is an obligatory tradition on the family of
every Muslim house whose people are able to do it. And that
is due to the saying of Allah the Exalted: “ Therefore to
thy Lord turn in Prayer and sacrifice” (108:2).
And
the saying of the Prophet (may the blessing and peace of Allah be
upon him): “That who was to slaughter before the prayer
let him repeat”. And the saying of Abu Aiyyub Al-Ansari: “The
man used to sacrifice one sheep on his behalf and on behalf of
the family of his house, during the days of the Messenger of
Allah”.(According to many scholars the sacrifice is
optional ).
3.
Its excellence:
It is witness that the tradition of the sacrifice is of
great excellence, because of the saying of the Messenger of
Allah (may the blessing and peace of Allah be upon him):
“The son of Adam had never done a deed on the Day of Immolation
more beloved to Allah than shedding the blood( of a sacrifice).
Sacrifice will come on the Day of Judgement with its horns ,
nails and hair .Its blood will fall in a place by
Allah (The Exalted and Mighty) before it falls on the ground, so
make the soul agreeable with it”. And his saying
(may the blessing and peace of Allah be upon him)-when they had
said to him: “what are the sacrifices?”- “It is the tradition
of your father Ibrahim.” They said: “Then the wool?” He
said: “In every hair of the wool there is a virtue.”
