The questioner : The honorable Shaykh says: What I know is that 'Umrah does not have a sacrificial animal, but in the 'Umrah of Hudaybiyyah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) brought a sacrificial animal with him, and when he was blocked, he slaughtered the sacrificial animal. The question is: What is the reason for bringing the sacrificial animal, given that he was going for 'Umrah and not for Hajj?
The Shaykh : The sacrificial animal is of two types: an obligatory sacrificial animal, which is only for the one performing tamattu' or qiran, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:196] And a voluntary sacrificial animal, which is for the one performing ifrad Hajj, for the one performing 'Umrah, and for the one who has not performed Hajj or 'Umrah. The one performing ifrad Hajj may offer a sacrificial animal to draw near to Allah, the one performing 'Umrah may offer a sacrificial animal to draw near to Allah, and the one who has not performed Hajj or 'Umrah and is in a country may offer a sacrificial animal to draw near to Allah, sending it to Makkah, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did when he sent a sacrificial animal to Makkah while residing in Madinah, and as he offered a sacrificial animal in the 'Umrah of Hudaybiyyah. The sacrificial animal itself is an act of worship by which one draws near to Allah, but it may be obligatory or recommended. It is obligatory for the one performing qiran and tamattu', and a recommended practice (sunnah) for the one performing ifrad Hajj, the one performing ifrad 'Umrah, and the one who has not performed Hajj or 'Umrah.
There is also an obligatory sacrificial animal of another type, which is due to destruction, such as the obligatory sacrificial animal for killing game. Allah Blessed and Exalted is He said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:95] Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Also, from her questions is this question, she says.
The Shaykh : The sacrificial animal is of two types: an obligatory sacrificial animal, which is only for the one performing tamattu' or qiran, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:
then whoever performs 'umrah [during the Hajj months] followed by Hajj [offers] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast of three days during Hajj and of seven when you have returned [home]. Those are ten complete [days]. This is for those whose family is not in the area of al-Masjid al-Haram
فَمَنْ تَمَتَّعَ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْيِ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّ وَسَبْعَةٍ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ تِلْكَ عَشَرَةٌ كَامِلَةٌ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَهْلُهُ حَاضِرِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِThere is also an obligatory sacrificial animal of another type, which is due to destruction, such as the obligatory sacrificial animal for killing game. Allah Blessed and Exalted is He said:
O you who have believed, do not kill game while you are in the state of ihram. And whoever of you kills it intentionally - the penalty is an equivalent from sacrificial animals to what he killed, as judged by two just men among you as an offering [to Allah] delivered to the Ka'bah
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءامَنُوا لا تَقْتُلُوا الصَّيْدَ وَأَنْتُمْ حُرُمٌ وَمَنْ قَتَلَهُ مِنْكُمْ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاءٌ مِثْلُ مَا قَتَلَ مِنَ النَّعَمِ يَحْكُمُ بِهِ ذَوَا عَدْلٍ مِنْكُمْ هَدْيًا بَالِغَ الْكَعْبَةِThe questioner : May Allah reward you. Also, from her questions is this question, she says.
