Is there a sacrificial animal (hady) in 'Umrah, and is it considered one of the abandoned recommended practices?

The questioner:
He asks: Is there a sacrificial animal (hady) for 'Umrah? And is this a recommended practice?

The Shaykh:
An obligatory sacrificial animal? No. As for a voluntary sacrificial animal, it is prescribed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered a sacrificial animal during the 'Umrah of Hudaybiyyah.

The questioner:
And is it correct to say that the sacrificial animal in 'Umrah is an abandoned recommended practice?

The Shaykh:
Yes, it is a recommended practice that has been left, a recommended practice that has been left. We have not seen anyone bring a sacrificial animal with them. Those who perform tamattu' buy the sacrificial animal from Makkah and from Mina; they do not bring it from al-Hal. This is permissible, there is nothing wrong with it. It is permissible to buy it from al-Hal and permissible to buy it from the Haram. But if you buy it from al-Hal, it does not become lawful until you slaughter it. Yes.
