The camels the Prophet slaughtered in the Farewell Pilgrimage: Were they from his property?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh! Were the camels that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) slaughtered in Makkah during the Farewell Pilgrimage from his property (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh:
The Messenger who slaughters something that is not his property?! Did he slaughter anything other than what Allah gave him? This is without a doubt. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, if a mother gives birth to a child and then the child dies at birth.
The Shaykh:
(peace and blessings be upon him) would receive wealth from war spoils and from the elephant, but he would not hold back any of it. He would spend it in jihad, or spend it on the poor and the needy, or spend it in drawing near to Allah through sacrificial animals, da'wah (calling others to Islam), and the 'Id sacrifice. He (peace and blessings be upon him) did not keep anything for himself. Yes. And among that, he gifted one hundred camels as a drawing near to Allah the Exalted and Majestic, which indicates his piety and generosity (peace and blessings be upon him), and that he did not hold back anything, but rather whatever came to him he spent in the causes of good (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes, yes.
