The Ruling on a Woman Slaughtering the Udhiyah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This sister says: Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for a woman to slaughter her udhiyah if there is no one in the house to do it? And what is the ruling on slaughtering at night regarding the udhiyah?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with a woman slaughtering; a woman slaughters just as a man slaughters, whether it is for the udhiyah or otherwise, whether there are men in the house or not. This is permissible. A woman was once tending sheep for someone, and a wolf pounced on one of them, or perhaps it was in a place outside the city, and the wolf pounced on one of them and devoured it. She caught it while it was still alive and slaughtered it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted others to eat from it. Yes.
