Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah Salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, my dear brothers and sisters, and Hamdulillah we are now into the first 10 days of Lord hedger. It is a very blessed time at a special time for the Muslim. For the one who is aware of that, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to protect us from being heedless, and allowing such blessing times to pass us by and us not maximizing the reward which lies there, but isn't it later.
Now, the first thing I want to remind you of and remind myself of is to establish the light establish the obligatory acts, because they are the most beloved to Allah subhanaw taala.
But also to establish also with that, the no orphan voluntary act of a murder, charity and fasting.
And I also want to focus on as the purpose of this particular reminder actually, is some of the rulings pertaining to
the odd here, the quarter Bernie and that is the sacrifice that is offered. For the one who is not performing hajj for the one performing Hajj they have their own rulings concerning the sacrifice that is made if they're performing a particular type of hedge, which is like
Chiron, where the hedge is joined with, or Mara, or tiller, where there's a separation between the aroma and the hedge they have their own arrangement with the sacrifice. But as for the one who is not performing the hedge, and that is myself and whoever is probably watching this video, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to write for us to return to his house or to go to his house to perform the Hajj Amin and we ask Allah Allah Allah to make it easy for the hydrogen this year in performing their Hajj and to accept it from them. I mean,
so concerning the on here, the sacrifice brothers and sisters, this is something which we find that a lot of our equity Allah mentions in the Quran. We know the story of Ibrahim Ali salaam when he had the dream. When it was what he saw in his dream is to sacrifice his son is smiling, he said,
and the story is well known to all of us, at least, that he presented this to his son, and it's my least agreed that this was the Command of Allah subhanaw taala and for it to be fulfilled only at the last moment that Allah subhanaw taala saw that the Buddha Himalayas Sudan was willing to go through and sacrifice his own son for him Subhanallah and then the situation has changed that Ibrahim Ali Saddam was then to sacrifice a sheep.
This is a reminder for us as well button sisters, that you know the old here the poor Barney that we offer insha Allah to Allah requires us to make a small sacrifice with whatever wealth Allah subhanaw taala has given to us and it has nothing to be compared to that what the Brahim Alia Salam was asked of the Prophet alayhi wa sallam he stayed in Medina for 10 years. And in each of those years, he ensured that sheep was sacrificed at this particular time of the year.
Now Allah subhanaw taala mentions in sort of telco field for son Lily or beaker one hope and pray to your Lord and make that sacrifice. Also the verse in surah 12 and I'm in verse 162. A lot about could Allah says call in solidarity will know so can you? Yeah, well mama de la hora been Isla mean, Lucia de cada that say indeed my prayer, my sacrifice, my living and my dying they belong to Allah subhanaw taala and he is free from any partner. These are just two verses in the Quran where Allah subhanaw taala establishes at least one of them as well to all the obligation of making a sacrifice.
So it should be clearly on our minds that at this particular time of the year, although these verses don't mention the time of year, we have the Sunnah of the Prophet alayhi salam to make clear
the timings of this particular sacrifice and as a side point, it is very important for us to view and understand the Quran. In light of the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and it cannot be separated. Issues of prayer and Hajj and so on and so forth are clearly explained in the Sunnah. The practice of the Prophet Allah is as firm and it is of the utmost importance for us to refer to that so that we can get a clearer understanding of the practice and the Sunnah of the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa temotu scheme.
So these are the couple of verses that I mentioned to you from the Quran.
As from the Sunnah we've mentioned the hadith of are going to mention the hadith of Abu Zubaydah and Saudi Radi Allahu Anhu. The other time of the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that a man would sacrifice the sheep on behalf of himself and the members of his household and they will do
eat from it and give some to others. This hadith is found in sunnah deputy manager and also son, Timothy. And it is the Hadith in Sahih. So this is established from the Sunnah as well. Also from the statements of the Ulama the scholars they agree that sacrificing the animal and giving some in charity is an established sunnah. And in fact is one of the signs and rituals of Al SLM that wherever you find Muslims, wherever you find Muslims present, you will find them offering I've got here the sacrifice if it is left, then it is seen as though that they have left one of the signs of an Islam SubhanAllah.
So when to go through inshallah Tada some of the rulings, the virtues of that word here. And make clear of that because you know, many questions are asked about its do I have to participate in it? What type of animals are used? We'll go through some of those now inshallah Tada.
So we mentioned the Hadith, or are you but I'm sorry about the Allahu Anhu that a man would sacrifice the sheep. And this would be sufficient for himself and his household, and that they would keep some, and then you give the rest away as a charity as a gift. Okay, this is a sound Hadith.
What types of animals are used in the sacrifice? Well, there are three types of animal, there are camels, there are cows, and there are sheep and sheep and goats come under the same category.
What is best? Well, there is a view to say that to have an entire camel sacrificed is the very best, then a cow under the sheep or goat. And this is based upon the Hadith in which the Prophet salallahu it was a lemma described
that ever drama. Before you attend the Friday sermon, the prophet Ali's have said Whoever goes to the hotbar early and sits down very early on the first hour of the day. It is as though they sacrificed a camel. And then in the next hour, it is as though they sacrificed a cow and then a sheep, and then a chicken, and then an egg. Okay, so there's a sequence of sacrifices that are mentioned here, the very top of being a camel, and then a cow, and then a sheep. For this reason, if a person is able to sacrifice an entire camel, I'm not talking about a shirt and a camel and entire camel, then that would be best. And this is the view of, for example, Imam Abu Hanifa sherfield. Oh
my Lord Taylor.
In America, como la CZ a little bit different. And he says that the fact that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam always sacrificed a sheep, his practice is the best practice. So therefore offering sheep would be best. Nonetheless, I mean, this discussion between the aroma is ongoing, and that exists. At least for us, we have to make sure that what I am able to participate in that I make sure that a sacrifice is offered at the correct time in shallow to either, okay.
I alluded to that a share could be made in a cow, and also a camel. And here we have the hadith of Jordan or the Allahu Anhu.
He said, We sacrificed at Allahu they deal with the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, and a camel was sufficient for seven, and a cow was enough for seven. And he commanded us to share camels and cuddle each man or each seven men sharing one animal. This hadith is also found in Sahih Muslim, so a cow wouldn't be sacrificed on behalf of seven men, and we would share it. So if an individual is unable to pay for an entire camel, that they can have a share in the sacrifice of the camel, and that there could be seven households technically just simplify it. Or you could have seven households sharing in the sacrifice of a cow. As for a sheep, that is considered just one share. So whatever you have
as an option,
you make sure that you participate in that but isn't it later either.
Now, some of the verses that I mentioned early one the sisters as to what was understood in Surah, telcos are for solid layer of Pika 100 and pray to you Lord, and offer a sacrifice. This particular verse is one of the verses that is used to say that the Lord here or the quarter bunny, is an obligation it is worship, because this particular verse is in the form of a command. And the command means that it is something or establishing something which is worship as an obligation. And this is a view of some of the roadmap from them at the moment I was able to hammer Allah, a
lathe in Abu Hanifa Rahim Allah Allah, one of their narration is taken from Imam Muhammad has the view of Sheikh with his Lamborghini Tamia. So many of the great aroma are
were of the view that the qurbani is an obligation.
The evidences are as I mentioned the verse which is in surah Alcocer.
And we also find a hadith of Joondalup or the Allahu Anhu. There's a hadith in Sahih Muslim,
that the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Whoever slaughtered his sacrifice before he prays, then let him slaughter another in its place, after the Salah, and whoever did not slaughter a sacrifice let him do so in the name of Allah subhanaw taala.
What does this hadith mean? What we take from this hadith is that the sacrifice has to be done after the Salah.
And in this hadith, the Prophet alayhi salam did not recognize the sacrifice to be accepted or to be done, if it was offered before salah. Therefore, saying that, if it was done before, then you need to do it again after the Salah.
If as it is, that this particular order here is an obligation, then it has to count and what was done earlier did not count. So, therefore, it has to be done again. If it was merely a sweetener or something which is recommended to do, then what you did earlier before so that would suffice however, the Prophet alayhi wa sallam ordered that the Hadith or the sacrifice to be done afterwards. This was another evidence to stay say that the order here is an obligation.
The second view which is an it can be considered the gem hoarder of the majority and that is the meta overshare theory the better known opinion of Malika hammer Allah and Muhammad Rahim Allah, that it is. So nuttin, Kedah that it is a confirmed and stressed so net to do, they will agree that it is macro, it is disliked to leave it for the one who is financially able to do that.
They have that evidence as well. But I don't want to get too much into the Monaka shirt or the discussions between the evidences.
What we can see is that for the one who is financially able, the one whom Allah subhanaw taala is blessed with some wealth, does it mean that you need to reach the level of on paying for care or not to know, I can pay for a sheep to be sacrificed. Or I can participate in a share of Rekha or camel. This is not a fitting, it's not fitting for you to leave that. Okay, you should arrange this over here. You should arrange this sacrifice the appropriate time. Now, when you are arranging this particular
sacrifice, which no Muslim should leave it in shadow, Tyler, whether you're sinful or not, I mean, it is a serious issue. So the safer view really is that if you do have the means, don't leave it, then you fulfill this responsibility. Allah hamdulillah there's no issue with you there's not it's not something you carry on your McLemore being doubtful about.
As for what you sacrificed, then there are certain conditions, ie the animal itself is not just you choose any animal. So for example, the animal itself has to have reached a certain age. Okay, so now we're talking about the actual sacrifice itself, after explaining its rulings whether you have to or you don't have to do it. What about the animal itself? Well, number one, it has to reach a certain age. So for a sheep, it has to be at least six months old. For a goat, it has to be at least one year old. For a cow, it has to be at least two years old. And for a camel, it has to be at least five years old. So there are conditions as concerning that we'll hear or the animal that is going to
be sacrificed. Also, that the animal itself is free from any or a job from any defects or faults. So for example, we know that the Prophet Elisa Salam said,
in the sun Hadith psychogenic that there are four that will not do for a sacrifice that are not sufficient. A one eyed animal whose defect is obvious, a sick animal whose sickness is obvious, a lame animal whose limp is obvious, and a very skinny animal who has no meat on it, no marrow on its bones, this is considered to be a defect animal which would not suffice for the order here.
Likewise, concerning the order here, or the sacrifice that it is made, it is not allowed to sell it. You cannot sell its skin. You cannot sell any part of the meat once has been offered as a note here. It can be kept for yourself. It can be offered as a gift to people but you're not allowed to sell it. As for the timing of it. Then it is after Salah too late. Okay on the 10th day of their hedger after you pray to read the sacrifices made after that time, and you have up until the third day of the am or the days of Tertiaries which is the 13th
Have the hijab before Salat and Margaret eventualities you've got about, you know, about three days,
three days to offer that inshallah to Allah to make sure that the
order here is done in the correct time and Allah subhanaw taala knows best.
We alluded to what should be done with the meat itself once it is, had been sacrificed. It is mostly for the one who has made that sacrifice if you're doing yourself not to eat anything from it, of course, it's good to to eat from it, but you don't eat anything from it
until after you come back and return from solid rate, which links with the point that we mentioned earlier, that the slaughtering of the animal should be done after salata ate, okay. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Let every man eat from his sacrifice. And this is done after the solitaire eight.
It is also better as musta had to slow to the sacrifice yourself to do it yourself. If you're living in a place, and in many Western countries, maybe it's difficult for you to have the order here and do you participate in it, it is absolutely allowed for you to arrange with a trustworthy charity.
And that they can arrange that for you on your behalf. Okay, there will be different prices for the types of animals and shares that you may participate in. That's allowed for you to do but isn't it a tailor.
Some of the earlier Matthew mentioned is a good way to distribute it into
three parts. So you would keep 1/3 for yourself. You give 1/3 in charity and you give 1/3 as a gift. Okay.
This is the opinion of it, but Mr. Would have to live in Armada or the Allahu Anhu. And as we mentioned, is not allowed for you to sell anything from that. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, again, it's legitimate, Whoever sells the skin of his order here, then there is no order here for them. Subhanallah
Okay, so now we've spoken about some of the recommended acts and if you can't do it yourself, then you could do it abroad in Charlotte, Allah.
What should the Muslim who is going to arrange that over here for themselves? What should they do?
Well, we say that there are certain things that you should avoid and stay away from during up until the sphere is is complete. So the sun indicates that the one themselves he was going to arrange and his page would adhere within the household. They are the ones who are subject to these rulings, not his wife or the children. Okay, so there's a household, you know, husband, wife, two or three children. He is the one who arranges that will appear for the household. It is him that these rulings are pertaining to, not the wife. So as we know, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, and this is a Muslim, that whoever intends or when you see the new moon of the hedger and
intends to make the sacrifice, let them not remove anything from hair or nails until he has offered his sacrifice. Or if there's if you're not doing the sacrifice until the sacrifice is done.
This command implies an obligation. So the Prophet sallallahu sallam said that if you're going to do the sacrifice, then do not touch any of your hair and your nails. And this is a minority view that it is haram actually, not to take it's not allowed you to take any hair from your body or to trim your nails. If you intend to do the sacrifice.
Other elements he is disliked amongst them with their hip, okay. But nonetheless,
upon the Hadith, it is better for you to stay away from you know, trimming any nails or your hair. If you're going to involve have a sacrifice done. If you do do it. Is there a Farah? Is there something expiation for you to do notice no explanation. You repent to Allah subhanaw taala it does not invalidate your order here. Okay, if you trim your nails, and you're having an old here don't okay. It doesn't invalidate that wood here, but and here so he can Charlottetown it's valid, but you ask Allah subhanaw taala for forgiveness, because for all intents purposes, if you view it as something not allowed, you repent to Allah subhanho wa taala.
So, these are some of the rulings that are upon the individual who is participating themselves on the RPF or has paid for it. If you find a household where the wife she also wants to have a quarter Bernie done, then she would be subject to that as well. Okay. So if the husband he paid her sacrifice for the household, that suffices the house at hamdulillah but the wife that mashallah they have they have wealth that she wants to arrange and over here as well, maybe in another country, she would be subject to the same rulings where she would not trim her nails or her hair until the sacrifice had been complete. And Allah Subhanallah done his best. Okay. So these are some of the
things that are forbidden for a person
Who wants to offer the sacrifice during this time? As for issues like you know wearing perfume during these days or having relations with your wife during this time, this, this is only subject to those who are in the state of haram performing Hajj or Umrah, okay, for those who are not performing Hajj, then things like that, that's, that's, that doesn't concern you, that's not applicable to you. But you know, as people, we're not making hedge, we want to kind of relate to as much as we can.
To those who are you know, participating in the hedge and this is a reminder for us that maybe for most of the Hajaj, they make a sacrifice, we will make a sacrifice as well. Okay, we will make a sacrifice, as well as a shout out to Allah and if we do that, then we will refrain from trimming our nails and our hair, just the person just like the person who is going to be in a state of, of Iran. Okay.
Another question that pops up and this would be the last thing we mentioned Charlotte Taylor, if I want to do a quote Bernie on here on behalf of the deceased,
yeah, is that allowed? We have a separate couple of things here.
The profit is absurd, at this particular time of year, okay, the sacrifice that is done on the 10th of the hedge office allotted eight, this is for the living, okay, this is for your household and those that are alive.
This is a particular act of a burden, you know, you don't make it just include everybody like like this. So, this is a sacrifice that is done for those who are live.
What about if I want to make a sacrifice and offer that meat as charity for the deceased? Is that allowed? We say yes, that is allowed for you. That is permitted. If you have for example, an animal slaughtered and then that meat as a charity because it is permitted for you to give charity in the name of the deceased and that the reward will reach them but isn't allowed to add. Okay, so maybe this particular time of year where it's really easy to arrange
you know, the old hay or the qurbani and so you want to pay for this animal to be slaughtered and to be given as a charity for the deceased that lead that's that's fine Charlotte Taylor, but it is not included in the act of advocacy are two different things. Okay, we're not going to put them all in one basket, they're two different things, there is the order here the core value that is offered during the days of the hedger okay that is for the living and the households okay. And there is the, you know, the distribution of meat as a charity and the name of the deceased.
This is allowed in Charlottetown. If it happens to coincide at this time, no problem. But you're not intending this is I want to do at this specific time, okay. There are two separate acts of evader and Allah started last month who knows best? May Allah subhanaw taala accept from us all during these days of the hedger mean, just like Malala was Allah Allahu wa sallim wa barik ala Nabina Muhammad, WA, early he was for the H Mairena ceremony Kumar amatola
