Compelling disputing parties to offer sacrifices upon reconciliation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There is a custom among some reconcilers in this region where, if they are present and there is a dispute between two people in the group, they say, “You, so-and-so, must offer a sacrifice, and you, so-and-so, must offer a sacrifice,” and they compel them to do so. Is this part of the Shari'ah?
Answer:
No, this is not part of the Shari'ah. Compulsion is not part of reconciliation; reconciliation is by mutual agreement, by mutual agreement, not by compulsion. Nor is anyone to be burdened with a financial loss. Yes, because the wealth of a Muslim is inviolable, so one is not compelled to pay for sacrifices or the like. Yes.
