The questioner : He says: I went by plane for 'Umrah and did not enter the state of ihram until I landed at Jeddah Airport. Then I entered the state of ihram and completed my 'Umrah. I was told I owed a sacrificial animal, but I returned and did not slaughter it. I intend to perform Hajj this year. When should I slaughter this sacrificial animal that became obligatory upon me for passing the miqat without entering the state of ihram? Is it permissible for me to slaughter it on the Day of Sacrifice along with the Hajj sacrifice? Is it permissible for me to share a camel with five men, so that I have two shares of this camel: one share for the Hajj sacrifice and one share for what became obligatory upon me for passing the miqat? Then, is it permissible for me to appoint someone other than myself to slaughter it for me in the Haram while I am in my country? And does the term "sacrificial animal" refer only to a sheep?
The Shaykh : We say to this brother who left the state of ihram at the miqat: according to the majority of scholars, you owe a sacrificial animal. You slaughter it in Makkah, either by yourself or by your agent. It is permissible for you to share a camel with others, and you may have two-sevenths of it while the others have five-sevenths, because two-sevenths of a camel suffice for two sheep, and a full camel suffices for seven sheep. However, as I told you a moment ago, I warn against leaving a question unaddressed for a long period. If you make a mistake, hasten to correct it, because you do not know; perhaps you will die before you look into this matter, and in that case, you will be sinful because you were negligent.
