The questioner:
The third question, Shaykh: Some young people say that when we come back from Hajj, it is prescribed to slaughter a sacrificial animal called al-Naqi'ah, and to gather the friends who performed Hajj with them. Is this prescribed?
The Shaykh:
He owes nothing, but there is nothing [prescribed in it]. I say there is nothing [prescribed in it]. However, if it were a recommended practice (sunnah), he would owe nothing. As for inviting his brothers after he returns from travel to thank Allah, that is good. That is from the blessings of Allah. They will do it.
The presenter:
Now, what is the last question?
The Shaykh:
To thank Allah for the blessing of safety and well-being.
