The Ruling on Slaughtering the Tamattu' Sacrificial Animal Before the Day of 'Id
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says that he is Sudanese and wants to perform Hajj as a mutamatti' or a muqarin. He asks: Regarding slaughtering the sacrificial animal before the day of the festival, is it sufficient for me?
Answer:
It is not permissible to slaughter the sacrificial animal for tamattu' or qiran before the day of the festival, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not slaughter his sacrificial animal, nor did any of his Companions, except on the day of the festival. So the time for slaughtering begins on the day of the festival and the three days after it: the eleventh, the twelfth, and the thirteenth. These are the days of slaughter. Before that, it is not permissible to slaughter the obligatory sacrificial animal for tamattu' or qiran. Yes.
