Adhuhiyah (offering a sacrifice) is one of the great rituals of
Islam, in which we remember the Unity of Allah, His blessings upon us, and the
obedience of our grandfather Ibrahim to his Lord. The word adhuhiyah
means an animal (i.e. camel, cow, sheep or goat) that is slaughtered during the
days of `Eid Al-Adha as an act of
worship, intending by it to draw closer to Allah.
In the Qur'an Allah says: (Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to
Him only)) (Al-Kawthar 108:2).
The underlying implication of Islam's attitude toward ritual slaughter
is not that of blood atonement, or seeking favor with Allah through another's
death, but rather, the act of thanking Allah for one's sustenance and the
personal sacrifice of sharing one's possessions and valuable food with one's
fellow humans.
Allah says further: (It is not their meat nor
their blood, that reaches Allah: it is your piety that reaches Him: He has thus
made them subject to you, that ye may glorify Allah for His guidance to you}
(Al-Hajj 22:37).
Who Should Sacrifice?
Offering Udhuhiyah (sacrifice) during `Eid Al-Adha is regarded as wajib
or mandatory according to Imam Abu Hanifah. All those people who have the
ability to buy an animal (e.g. a goat or sheep of about 40,000/= in Uganda) should
offer a sacrifice.
One goat or sheep is sufficient for one person as sacrifice, but a
maximum of seven people can pool money together, buy and share in offering one
cow or camel and it will be sufficient for them as a sacrifice
What Are The Rituals For Those Who Want
To Sacrifice?
It is recommended by the Sunnah for the one who wants to offer a
sacrifice, once the new moon of Dhul-Hijjah appears, not to remove anything
from his hair, nails or skin, until he has offered the sacrifice, because of
the report narrated by the group except Al-Bukhari, from Umm Salamah (may Allah
be pleased with her), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon
him) said: "Whoever has an animal to slaughter, when the new moon of
Dhul-Hijjah appears, let him not remove anything from his hair or nails until
he has offered the sacrifice." This applies whether he is going to
slaughter the sacrifice himself or he has appointed someone else to do it;
The reason for this prohibition is that when the person who wants to
offer the sacrifice joins the pilgrims in some of the rituals of Hajj— namely
drawing closer to Allah by slaughtering the sacrifice—he also joins him in some
of the features of ihram, namely refraining from cutting his hair, etc.
How Should The Meat Be Distributed?
Lastly, the meat of the Udhuhiyah should be divided in three equal
portions: one
for oneself and the family, one for friends and
neighbors, and one for the poor and needy. If there are
more poor people, then it is good to give all of it in charity to the poor and
the needy.
So Forward This Email To All
Muslims That Can Afford the Price of a Goat and Encourage Them to Prepare Their
Sacrifice (To Thank Allah) on Eid Day
Abu Mas'ud 'Uqba ibn 'Amr al-Ansari al-Badri reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "Anyone who shows the way to something good has the same reward as the person who does it." [Muslim] E.g. if you encourage someone to go for Salah, or pay Zakat and the person actually goes ahead and prays or pays Zakat, Allah will reward him for the good deeds and at the same time give you (the one that encouraged them to do good) an equal reward as he has given them- without decreasing what he gave them. So Encourage Other To Do Good And Refrain From Bad Deeds
