Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We stated that it is recommended for the one performing qiran to offer the sacrificial animal; is it the same for the one performing ifrad?
The Shaykh: There is no difference, according to this opinion there is no difference. However, its being obligatory for the one performing qiran is not far-fetched. As for the one performing ifrad, there is no doubt that it is not obligatory for him.
The questioner : Is it recommended for him?
The Shaykh : Yes, for the one performing ifrad, it is recommended that he offer the sacrificial animal.
The questioner : Are the two the same?
The Shaykh : They are not the same, because the one performing ifrad offers it as a voluntary act without any disagreement. I mean, the one performing ifrad offers it as a voluntary act without any disagreement, while the one performing qiran offers it as a precautionary measure. There is a difference between these two, except according to the opinion of the majority that he offers it as an obligation.
The questioner : Is there evidence that the obligatory ruling is stronger?
The Shaykh : Do you not know that there is a degree between the obligatory and the non-obligatory?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : This is it, this degree is based on precaution. That is to say, if we said that he takes precaution, then if he leaves it, he is in danger of sin. But a recommended act does not put him in danger of sin.
