The Guidance on the Sacrificial Animal for 'Umrah and Its Conveyance

Question:
O honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on the sacrificial animal (hady) in 'Umrah? Is it required to convey it? And what is the evidence for that?

Answer:
The sacrificial animal (hady) is permissible in 'Umrah and in Hajj. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) conveyed the sacrificial animal in 'Umrah during the 'Umrah of Hudaybiyyah, and he conveyed the sacrificial animal in the Farewell Pilgrimage. So it is permissible to convey the sacrificial animal in 'Umrah and to convey it in Hajj. This is the voluntary sacrificial animal, and it is an act of drawing near to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). If one does it, it is good, and if one does not do it, there is no blame on him, except for the obligatory sacrificial animal, the sacrificial animal of tamattu' or the sacrificial animal of qiran. This is an obligatory sacrificial animal for the ritual, yes.
