The questioner:
Is there any condemnation of these Companions for slaughtering more than one animal if they described this as boasting?
The Shaykh:
It is possible, it is possible. The intention varies; it may be an intention to boast, or a person may intend to increase the number because of the large size of his household and the many needy people. If it is increased because of the many needy people, it is not boasting. If it is done for the sake of boasting, it is blameworthy. Perhaps what happened was that he was offered it, or it was given to him; perhaps it falls under this category, that he saw that people were doing it out of boasting.
The questioner:
Hudhayfah ibn Asid.
The Shaykh:
These people.
