The ruling on slaughtering the sacrificial animal of tamattu' and qiran at 'Arafah

Question: A pilgrim slaughtered his sacrificial animal at 'Arafah during the days of Tashriq and distributed it among those present. Is that permissible? What is obligatory for him if he was ignorant of the ruling or did it intentionally? If he slaughtered his sacrificial animal at 'Arafah and then distributed its meat inside the Haram, is that permissible? What is the place where the sacrificial animal may not be slaughtered except there? Thank you.

Answer: The sacrificial animal of tamattu' and qiran may not be slaughtered except in the Haram. If he slaughters it outside the Haram, such as at 'Arafah, Jeddah, or elsewhere, it does not suffice for him, even if he distributes its meat in the Haram. He must offer another sacrificial animal to be slaughtered in the Haram, whether he was ignorant or knowledgeable. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) slaughtered his sacrificial animals in the Haram and said: , and likewise his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) only slaughtered their sacrificial animals in the Haram, following his example (peace and blessings be upon him).
