Is it recommended for the pilgrim to offer a sacrifice?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh: Is it from the Sunnah for a person, if he offers a sacrifice during Hajj, to also offer an 'Id sacrifice?
The Shaykh : Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: There is no 'Id sacrifice for the pilgrim, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not offer an 'Id sacrifice; rather, he offered a hundred camels as a sacrifice on behalf of seven hundred heads of sheep. However, if a person has a family who did not perform Hajj with him, and he instructs them to offer a sacrifice on his behalf and on their behalf, that is good. Yes, after that.
The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah reward you, but the point is: is it a recommended practice or not?
The Shaykh : I told you: if he has a family, it is from the Sunnah for him to provide them with a sacrifice on his behalf and on their behalf, if they did not perform Hajj with him. As for the pilgrims, they do not offer an 'Id sacrifice; rather, they offer a hady sacrifice.
The questioner : What confuses me, O Shaykh, is that I performed Hajj and I instructed my family—I gave them money—to offer a hady sacrifice.
The Shaykh : This is correct. This is a recommended practice, and it is good and fine. And this is what I told you twice. Yes.
