The questioner : He says: I read in some books of Islamic jurisprudence that it is prescribed for the one performing the lesser pilgrimage to slaughter a sacrificial animal after his 'Umrah as a recommended practice. Is this one of the rare sunnahs in this time? I would appreciate it if you would remind us of this sunnah, if it is indeed a sunnah. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is one of the rare sunnahs. However, the sunnah is not that when you perform the lesser pilgrimage, you buy a sheep and slaughter it. The sunnah is that you bring the sheep with you, bringing it from your country, or at least from the miqat, or from the nearest place of ihram according to some scholars. This is called bringing the sacrificial animal. As for slaughtering after the lesser pilgrimage without bringing it, that is not part of the sunnah. Yes.
