The Meaning of Tawqif al-Hady

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks, Shaykh, and says: Regarding tawqif al-hady, what is meant by tawqif al-hady? And was it known previously in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance?

Answer:
Hady is the camels, cows, or sheep that are driven to be slaughtered in the sacred precinct as an offering to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), whether it is obligatory hady or voluntary hady. If it is driven from the non-sacred area, a mark is placed on it to indicate that it is hady, either by putting collars on its neck or by slitting the skin so that blood appears and then rubbing it on its hump. This is the marking of the hady. Tawqif is placing a collar on it so that it is known to be hady and that no one interferes with it. Yes.
