Explanation of the Book of Hajj-10b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Reciter: Ishaq ibn Mansur narrated to us, saying: Al-Nadr narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah narrated to us, saying: Abu Jumrah narrated to us, saying: Sahih al-Bukhari 1688 ..
The Shaykh : A share in a blood sacrifice means a cow or a camel; each one suffices for seven people. Now, if the person who owes the sacrificial animal partners with a butcher who wants to slaughter the cow for sale, is that permissible or not?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : The details of this are the opinion of Ibn Jinni, O Muhammad. It is not known that one buys meat and says, "This is for the sacrificial animal!"
Meaning, after the slaughter, he says it is not suitable. This is not established at all because it is meat. But before he slaughters it, he says: "I owe a sheep. I want to buy from you seven-sevenths of this cow for one hundred riyals. Seven-sevenths is for me as the sacrificial animal, and six-sevenths is for you to sell. Is that permissible or not?
The Students: It is not permissible.
The Shaykh : No, it is permissible, because the general statement of Ibn Abbas, "or a share in a blood sacrifice," includes this. That is, whether he partners with someone who wants the sacrificial animal or someone who wants to sell it, it becomes one of four options: a camel, a cow, a sheep, or a share in a blood sacrifice.
The Reciter: He said: "It seemed to me that some people disliked it, so I slept and saw in a dream as if a person was calling out: 'A blessed Hajj and an accepted combined pilgrimage.' So I went to Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) and told him about it, and he said: 'Allahu Akbar! It is the Sunnah of Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him).' He said: And Adam, Wahb ibn Jarir, and Ghandar narrated from Shu'bah: 'An accepted Umrah and a blessed Hajj.'
The Shaykh : The placement of the phrase "Allahu Akbar" is an expression of astonishment at what happened, where Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) was supported by this vision. He said to the man, "Stay with us until something comes to us, meaning from the war spoils (fay'), and we will give you a share of it." In this is evidence that a person's joy at hitting the truth in his fatwa is among the things for which one should rejoice, and it is obligatory for the one who informed him of this to reward him with whatever he wishes. And his saying, "Allahu Akbar! It is the Sunnah of Abu al-Qasim," is that he (may Allah be pleased with him) did not say Allahu Akbar merely because he hit the truth, but because he hit the Sunnah. Yes, Faisal.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, now the reality in the Hajj campaigns...
I asked Ibn `Abbas about Hajj-at-Tamattu`. He ordered me to perform it. I asked him about the Hadi (sacrifice). He said, "You have to slaughter a camel, a cow or a sheep, or you may share the Hadi with the others."
سألت ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما عن المتعة فأمرني بها وسألته عن الهدي فقال فيها جزور أو بقرة أو شاة أو شرك في دمThe Shaykh : A share in a blood sacrifice means a cow or a camel; each one suffices for seven people.
