Sacrificial Animals

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim


In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful




Sacrificial Animals






In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

The sacrificial camels we have made for you as among the symbols from Allah. In them is (much) good for you: then pronounce the name of Allah over them as they line up (for sacrifice): when they are down on their sides (after slaughter), eat ye thereof, and feed such as (beg not but) live in contentment, and such as beg with due humility: thus have We made animals subject to you, that ye may be grateful. 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 and proclaim the good news to all who do right. (22:36-37)

Inspiration of the Prophet

Ummul Mo'mineen Um Salamah (R.A.A.) relates that the Holy Prophet ( SAW ) said: A person who has an animal and intends to offer a sacrifice ( on the Occasion of Eid-ul Adha) should not have his hair cut or his nails trimmed during the first ten days of the month of Zul Hijjah, until he has offered his sacrifice.
