The ruling on slaughtering the 'Id sacrifice before the 'Id prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Well, a man slaughtered on the day of 'Id, but before he prayed. On the day of 'Id, but before he prayed.

The Shaykh : Yes, on the day of 'Id, after the sun had risen, he slaughtered. Come on. Huh? Huh. You don't stand up. But now. The one who answers me on this, I will demand evidence from him. So whoever has evidence, let him please come forward, or else let him sit down. Yes. Well, if it is said that the conjunction "wa" (and) does not accept ordering. If it is said that the types in the Arabic language, meaning, do not imply ordering or do not necessitate ordering. We were in a hadith. There is no hadith from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that is explicit on the subject.
Hurry up. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out one day to pray the 'Id prayer and found that sheep had been slaughtered. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever performs his sacrifice before the prayer, his sacrifice is not valid, and let him slaughter another in its place." So Abu Burdah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up in the gathering and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I sacrificed a sheep before I prayed because I wanted to feed my family before anything else." He said: "Your sheep is a sheep of meat." Note, he did not say the sheep is forbidden or lawful, because it was a valid sacrifice. He said: "Your sheep is a sheep of meat," meaning it is no longer a sacrifice. He said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have a young goat, and who knows what a young goat is? A small goat that is four months old or so. I have a young goat that I love more than my sheep." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sacrifice with it"
but it will not suffice for anyone (as a sacrifice) after youولن تجزئ عن أحد بعدك
Sahih Muslim 1961i
.
With it, and it will not be valid for anyone after you. This is because a young goat from the goats is not acceptable; the goat must be at least one year old. In any case, the man who sacrificed before the prayer was performed does not have a valid sacrifice because he sacrificed at the wrong time. And one of the conditions of worship, or a condition of conformity to the Shari'ah in worship, is that it conforms to the Shari'ah in terms of time.
