Kind: captions Language: en [Music] AC [Music] alhamdulillah in Islam the issue of sacrificing an animal for the sake of Allah is a concept that is rooted deeply for example in Haj when we perform Hajj we sacrifice animals what is the meaning of sacrificing an animal is to slaughter an animal a specific type of of animal and why do we do this because this is a form of showing appreciation to Allah and this sacrifice is a form of gratitude and it does not reach Allah in the sense that Allah doesn't need it but when you do it and you feed the meat to the poor this pleases Allah and this sort of sacrifice was found in all religions before Islam so Islam is not something new however Islam does this in a specific way so we sacrifice a certain type of animals it has to be either camels cows sheep or goats these are the sacrificial uh uh the the animals that we sacrifice and the form of slaughtering during Haj is divided into two types one is known as a Hadi of shukan a sacrifice of gratitude and this is done due to the ritual itself so the ritual that we are doing whether it's or it is if a person is then it is part of his that he offers the sacrifice the third type which is or a he does not have to do any such sacrifice Allah says about those who do not live in Mecca so anyone who does not live in Mecca who comes for Hajj Allah the Almighty he says then whoever performs during the Hajj months followed by Hajj offers what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals so a person who is performing Oran the difference between him and the person offering IFR is that he's combining between om and Haj at the same time so what happens if someone like that is unable to perform this sacrifice he doesn't have money in this case he has to fast 10 days three during the Hajj season and seven when he goes back to his home and these three can be performed during the ha period so if a person is offering and he comes in the month of sha performs his omah and he stays the whole period he can perform these three days any time of like the eth the ninth of courseid he's not uh uh allowed to do it he's not allowed to to fast he can do it in the days of Tash 11th 12th and the 13th he could choose and pick three days not necessarily in a row and when he goes back he has to complete the 10 by offering his his seven days Allah Asel says about this uh in the Quran and whoever cannot find or afford such an animal then a fast of three days during the Hajj and of seven when he or when you have returned home this is the first type of sacrifice it's a form of gratitude it's part of your ritual the second type of sacrifice is a compensation it's an ex experation and it's called and this this is done whenever you leave one of the mandatory acts of Haj or om which we have talked in earlier classes or when you do some of the restricted and prohibited actions during so either one you could do for example a person did not form or assume the state of from the mik he flew over it he forgot he slept came down to jeda and then he oh what have I done what should I do we say go back to your mik he said it's a lot of Hassle and I don't have time I just want to assume my from J and he goes and performs his this guy made a mistake by leaving an obligatory act which is to perform from the mik he's obliged to slaughter a sheep where like in theuk in the sacrifice of gratitude it has to be slaughtered in the Haram area for the the best is to be done in Mina but if he does it in Mecca there's no problem likewise here it has to be done in in meccah and if he does it anywhere in the Haram area then this is also permissible and to be given to the poor one of the differences between and the the Sunnah is to eat from their own sacrifice the Sunnah is to eat from their own sacrifice and distribute the meat to the poor remember the prophet Alam in his farewell Haj offered 100 camels and he slaughtered 63 with his own hand and gave the knife to Ali and completed the 100 so the Sunnah is that you Slaughter it yourself if you can't then you de delegate this to someone else and to eat from it but when it is as an experation for leaving something that's mandatory or skip uh or doing something that is prohibited during the state ofam you must not eat a thing out of it what about uh where to slaughter we've said that it has to be done in Mina or in Mecca but not in because is in the not in not in all these areas are outside the boundaries of alam it has to be done in Al Haram what are the conditions of such a Slaughter the conditions are easy number one it has to be from the livestock mentioned earlier camels cows Bulls sheep goats and the likes so if you want to sacrifice a thousand chicken that won't do if you want to sacrifice a valuable horse that wouldn't do it has to be from this livestock mentioned two it has to be free of defects so it's unacceptable that you sacrifice something that is sick or oneeyed or lame or the likes thirdly it has to reach a particular age so for a camel it has to be minimum 5 years of age for a cow it has to be of minimum of two years for a goat it has to be a minimum of one year or above and for a sheep it has to be six months or older and this is or these are the condition for such a sacrifice that you offer during the Hajj season [Music] AC [Music] m
