Sacrifice and its rulings in Hajj

After stoning the Jamarat on the day of Eid, it is obligatory to sacrifice a camel, cow, or sheep in Mina. Since sheep are usually sacrificed, it should be known that the sheep to be sacrificed must be, as a matter of precaution and obligation, one year old and in its second year. It must be healthy and flawless in every way, meaning that it must not have any defects in its horns, tail, testicles, ears, eyes, hands, feet, etc. It must also not be thin, and as a matter of precaution, it must not be lame. However, if its ear is split or has a hole, but is not defective or cut, there is no problem. Likewise, if its outer horn, which is like a sheath for the inner white horn, is broken, and the inner horn itself is healthy, there is no problem.

 

Issue: A person can slaughter the animal himself or he can hire a representative, and the representative must be a Shia and make the intention at the time of slaughter for everyone who is slaughtering, and it is known that in the slaughter of expiation, it is also necessary for the slaughterer to be a Shia.

 

Issue: It is not correct to participate in the sacrifice and everyone must sacrifice a sacrifice himself.

 

Issue: If one intentionally or due to an excuse does not sacrifice on the day of Eid, the obligatory precaution is to slaughter it during the days of Tashreeq, i.e. the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth, and if that is not possible, during the rest of the month of Dhul-Hijjah.

 

Issue: The recommended precaution is to divide the sacrifice into three parts: one part should be given as a gift, one part as charity, and some of it should be eaten and the charity should be given to the believers. However, since none of these are obligatory, there is no problem if one gives the charity to the poor infidels or if one gives the entire sacrifice to them. And it does not guarantee the share of the poor. Of course, caution is very desirable, especially in eating a certain amount of the sacrificed animal, but it is not obligatory.

 

Issue: If someone delegates to someone to buy and slaughter a sacrifice for him, and the delegate also does so, and then the person doubts whether he did it correctly or not, it is sufficient and correct to ignore this doubt.

 

Issue: If someone does not have the power to sacrifice, meaning that he does not have a sheep, nor the money to buy it, nor can he borrow or obtain it in any other way, instead of sacrificing, he must fast for three days during Hajj and seven days after returning from Hajj. (There are some issues here that we have not mentioned because they do not usually happen. If this happens, ask his family.)
