Slaughter on behalf of those who entrusted it, with an intention not explicitly declared
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Today I went to the place of slaughter in Mina and slaughtered seven sheep in Mina. It was for me and for my brothers who had entrusted it to me, and I did not declare the intention by saying, “O Allah, this is for so-and-so and this is for so-and-so,” but I merely mentioned or said, “In the name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest.”
Answer:
It is sufficient if a person slaughters the gift or the sacrifice, says “In the name of Allah” and “Allah is the Greatest,” and does not say “for so-and-so and so-and-so,” as long as he intended it. If he intended it for the people it was for, and he delivered it, then his intention for their sake is sufficient. It is sufficient; the intention is sufficient.
