And as for the blood of tamattu' and qiran, the sacrificial animal is obligatory.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then he said: "And as for the blood of tamattu' and qiran, the sacrificial animal is obligatory. If one does not have it, then fasting for three days is required, and it is better for the last of these to be the Day of 'Arafah, and seven days when one returns to his family."
The blood of tamattu' and qiran is sequential, not a choice. The sacrificial animal is obligatory in it. If one does not have it, he fasts for three days during Hajj and seven days when he returns to his family. The evidence for this is the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:196] So the obligatory thing in tamattu' and qiran, what is it? The sacrificial animal. If he does not find it, then fasting. Is there feeding in it? No. So if he is unable to provide the sacrificial animal and unable to fast, it drops off him, because Allah did not mention anything except the sacrificial animal and fasting only. And the author's statement "And as for the blood of tamattu' and qiran, the sacrificial animal is obligatory" did not mention what type of sacrificial animal it is. But we mentioned previously that every sacrificial animal that the Shari'ah specifies and through which one draws near to Allah, it is necessary that it meet the conditions: that it be from the livestock, that it reach the age prescribed by the Shari'ah, that it be free from defects that prevent its validity, and that it be at the time of slaughter. But this is specific to tamattu' and qiran, because the doing of the prohibited thing, where it occurs, is on any day and in any place. And likewise the place is specific to tamattu' and qiran. We mentioned a little while ago that the one involving a sheep is a choice, and here he says it is sequential, even though the obligatory thing is a sheep. So is our statement contradictory to the author's statement?
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh : No, how could it be? We said that what obligates a sheep from the prohibited things, and this blood of tamattu' and qiran is not the blood of a prohibited thing. For this reason, we say: is it from expiation or from gratitude?
The questioner: Gratitude.
The Shaykh : It is from gratitude, so it is a blood of gratitude, not a blood of expiation, because the ritual was not deficient in anything, but it completed the ritual. So from the completion of the ritual, Allah the Exalted and Exalted made this sacrificial animal obligatory upon the pilgrim as gratitude to Allah for this blessing. And therefore, the blood of tamattu' and qiran is from that which is eaten from, sent as a gift, and given in charity. So the blood of tamattu' and qiran, you eat from it, send it as a gift, and give it in charity. And the blood of the prohibited thing is not eaten from, nor sent as a gift, but it is distributed to the poor.
The blood of tamattu' and qiran is sequential, not a choice. The sacrificial animal is obligatory in it. If one does not have it, he fasts for three days during Hajj and seven days when he returns to his family. The evidence for this is the saying of Allah the Exalted:
then whoever performs 'umrah [during the Hajj months] followed by Hajj [offers] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast of three days during Hajj and of seven when you have returned
فمن تمتع بالعمرة إلى الحج فما استيسر من الهدي فمن لم يجد فصيام ثلاثة أيام في الحج وسبعة إذا رجعتمThe questioner : No.
