Is it permissible to slaughter a camel on behalf of several vows of sacrificial animals?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We say: I am a member who slaughtered an animal by chance, and it was a sacrifice, the first time, the second, and the third, until these vows reached seven times. I wish to slaughter a camel instead of the seven sacrificial animals. Is this permissible or not?
The Shaykh : We say: Do not look at it, for the vow is disliked, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it and said that it does not bring good. However, he said that whoever vows to obey Allah should fulfill it. And if you slaughter the camel on behalf of these seven, it suffices you, if Allah wills. Most of the prayer is not performed by them in congregation. Do not cut off ties with them; rather, shorten your dealings with them to what is necessary to maintain your ties with them, and advise them. If you advise them and they reject the advice, that is upon them. Indeed, that is part of maintaining your ties with them and being dutiful to them.
