Is it permissible to slaughter the sacrificial animal outside of Mina?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The second question regarding Hajj: One of the brothers told us that there is no good sheep in Mina, so we went to the northeast of Makkah and slaughtered there. Is it permissible to slaughter there, or is it necessary to do so in Mina? And is there anything [owed]? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : This man says: It was told to us that there are no sheep in Mina that suffice for Hajj, and I went to the northeast of Makkah, the just place, well, north of the just place, the important thing is northeast of Makkah, and we slaughtered there. So, does it suffice? The answer: If this is within the boundaries of the Haram, there is nothing wrong with it, because the entire Haram is a place for slaughter. But if it is outside, as if it were in al-Sharai' for example.
The questioner : Inside.
The Shaykh : Inside the boundaries of the Haram.
The questioner : Northeast.
The Shaykh : The important thing is to ask the people of expertise. If it is within the boundaries of the Haram, it is valid. If it is outside, it is not valid. You must repeat it now, and that [previous slaughter] becomes voluntary, and you repeat it now in its place, because it is a condition for the obligation of the sacrificial animal—whether for Tamattu' or Qiran—that it be in Makkah, meaning in the Haram in Makkah, in Mina, in Muzdalifah. Yes, the third question.
