Takbir on the day of kurban ida as they read. Eid al-Adha is a special holiday. When Sacrifice Becomes Obligatory
eid al-fitr- a long-awaited holiday, the day when Muslims around the world congratulate each other on the end of the month of fasting - the blessed Ramadan. This is a day that unites the entire great Muslim Ummah of the planet Earth, a holiday when everyone, without exception, rejoices and has fun. This is a holiday, which in all Islamic states is officially a day off, so that Muslims can meet each other, congratulate, visit relatives, relax and fully enjoy this holiday.
Eid al-Fitr gathers the family around holiday table, those who were away try to return home for the holiday, those who work, complete everything by the beginning of the holiday, therefore unity is observed brighter, because at home, the streets are full of people who go to each other to congratulate on the holiday of breaking the fast.
Uraza Bayram is a holiday of joy, happiness, smiles, good mood. First of all, on this day, Muslims turn to their Lord - Almighty Allah with a prayer that He accepts their fast, all the good deeds and intentions committed this month. As well as for ourselves and for other Muslims, we ask the same, at the meeting we wish this and in response we hear “amen”, and we hope that the Creator, by His grace, will accept our worship. This day is filled with the deepest faith on the part of believers, since the holiday begins with prayers, and the whole day is filled with this divine grace.
Holiday Eid al-Fitr begins with a collective prayer in the mosques of any locality. An hour or two after sunrise, the mosques are filled with Muslims who loudly, in one voice, read the takbir, after which they perform a festive prayer.
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the holiday prayer was completed, one of the angels said: “Let everyone know that the Lord has forgiven you. So go back to your homes with joy. Today is the day of reward." And this is also proclaimed in heaven ».
Note that takbir, that is, the words " Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaha illallahu wa Llahu akbar wa lillahi-l hamd ”, start sounding from the previous day after the evening prayer. They testify that Ramadan has come to an end, and tomorrow is declared a holiday. Muslims, who are in mosques and who are at home, are waiting for the takbir, and after it begins to sound, they congratulate each other on the holiday. Takbir continues to sound until the beginning of the holiday prayer.
As mentioned above, the main essence of the holiday is that Muslims thank Almighty Allah for being able to fast for a month, since it is the third pillar of Islam. Muslims thank their Lord for being able to do pious deeds. Thanks for the fact that during this time they were able to at least a little atone for their mistakes, improve their temper, leave in the past some addictions that do not correspond to religion.
Eid al-Fitr is also unique in that that on this day both the rich and the poor rejoice equally. Wealthy Muslims often coincide with this month and holiday with the payment of obligatory zakat, which allows insolvent brothers and sisters to adequately celebrate the holiday, set the table and meet guests.
Mercy, which is so welcomed in Islam and encouraged by Almighty Allah, is fully manifested both during the month of Ramadan itself and on the bright holiday of Uraza Bayram. Feelings, emotions of believers overwhelm their hearts and souls, because they were waiting for this day, they were hungry and thirsty for the sake of His Lord, and now He generously rewards them.
The holiday of breaking the fast gathers all relatives together, those who may not have been seen for months, you will definitely see on this day, everyone goes to visit, invites to himself.
Eid al-Fitr - the holiday of friendship, mutual respect, understanding, love, forgiveness, brotherhood.
The holiday of breaking the fast is a bridge to another equally great Muslim holiday, Eid al-Adha - Eid al-Adha. Not long to wait, about two and a half months. These holidays follow each other, and in this there is a special mercy of Allah. First, Muslims fast, then they begin to prepare for the greatest journey of their lives - the pilgrimage to the shrines of Mecca and Medina.
If you think about it, then that same unity does not need to be particularly sought after, since it is already laid down by Allah Himself: the month of Ramadan, the holiday of Eid al-Fitr, preparation for the Hajj, the Hajj itself, the holiday of Eid al-Adha, then follows the month of Rabi-ul Awwal, rajab, shaaban and again ramadan. All great events are laid out by the Wise Allah in such a way that the unity of Muslims is not interrupted, because each of these events is very significant, has great meaning and significance, and if the Muslims themselves approach this correctly, then they are always united, the members of the Muslim ummah breathe in time with each other. with a friend, as one organism, as one big and united heart.
Eid al-Fitr carries a huge spiritual charge, one common joy. On this day, Muslims say goodbye to the month that they have been waiting for a whole year, and ask the Lord not to deprive them of the opportunity to meet Ramadan next year. On this day, believers sum up a certain result of their behavior, their deeds, their mercy, which they demonstrated on blessed days.
Fasting on a holiday is forbidden, on this day only joy and fun should be present in the heart of a Muslim. After the congratulations of the imam of the mosque and the performance of a collective holiday prayer Muslims begin to congratulate each other. With such pleasant impressions, the parishioners of the mosques go home to start visiting their neighbors and relatives from there with words of congratulations, with the wishes of acceptance of fasting, peace and tranquility to each of us.
Even from the evening or on a holiday before prayer, Muslims pay, which is distributed among the needy believers. It is also advisable to visit cemeteries the day before.
Directly on the holiday itself, the Ulama recommend that Muslims: get out of bed early, perform a full bath of the body, put on the best and most beautiful clothes, perfume with incense, have breakfast before the holiday prayer with something sweet, then go to greet Muslims, show joy and fun, go to guests, congratulate the believers on the holiday, wishing them that Allah accepted their fast.
The children remain indifferent. They are looking forward to this day. IN different countries around the world celebrate this day in different ways, somewhere parents arrange real cultural trips for children, walks in parks, rides, swings, carousels. All kinds of playgrounds are open for the holiday. An important attribute is the sweets that children receive on the day of the holiday, and other gifts are also given.
Any good traditions that have developed with the celebration of Eid al-Fitra are good, because the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) loved when Muslims rejoice, and he praised giving gifts to each other. " And give each other gifts ", says the hadith. Muslims follow this good principle and please themselves, their families, relatives, friends and relatives.
Eid al-Fitr is the logical end of the month of Ramadan, but with the holiday the performance of good deeds does not end, Ibadat does not end, on the contrary, we must do it with even greater zeal in order to achieve the satisfaction of our Creator.
Eid al-Fitr falls on the first day. The hadith also speaks of the desirability of fasting for six days and this month. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever fasted Ramadan and then fasted for six days of Shawwal will receive a reward equal to a year's fast. ". It is advisable to observe this fast immediately after the holiday, although it is allowed on any other days of this month and it is considered important to observe these six days in a row.
Of course, each of us is both joyful and sad at the same time, because we are celebrating such a great holiday, but we regret that the blessed days are over and now we have to wait exactly a year, and if it is the will of Almighty Allah, we will once again taste all the mercy holy month ramadan.
In the meantime, we will congratulate each other on the holiday of Eid al-Fitr. As narrated in a hadeeth from Jabir bin Nafir: When meeting on Eid, the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to each other: “May Allah accept from us and from you” ».
With the same wonderful words, we will congratulate our brothers and sisters, following the Sunnah of our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
Sauteed liver, charcoal steak, grilled veal chops, ribs, stewed lamb, pilaf with beef, kebab, fried lamb - these and many other dishes are lined with the tables of many Muslims on the second holiday of the Islamic calendar, Eid al-Adha, or the Holiday sacrifices.
However, this holiday has a much deeper spiritual and symbolic meaning than the purely external manifestations of the three-day feast of meat abundance, which takes place every year after the end of the Hajj.
The Excellence of the Day of Sacrifice
The Day of Sacrifice falls on the 10th day of Dhul-Hijj. In Arabic, it is called "yaum al-nahr", this name is especially common among the haji who celebrate the holiday in Saudi Arabia.
The 10th day of Dhul-Hijj has many virtues and is the most important day of the Hajj.
It is reported that Ibn Umar said:
“The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him, stood between the jamarat (pillars symbolizing the devil) on the Day of Sacrifice during the Hajj and said:“ This is the greatest Day of the Hajj ”(Ibn Maja).
This day is the greatest day of the year for all Muslims of the world, regardless of whether they performed the Hajj or not.
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“The greatest day in the sight of Allah is the Day of Sacrifice” (Abu Dawud).
The 10th of Dhul Hijjah is truly a great day for the Hajji, because on this day they perform many unique and rare good deeds, and this continues for another three days if, due to pandemonium, they did not manage to complete them on the 10th.
What are these good deeds? This is the throwing of stones at the Jamarat, the slaughter of a sacrificial animal, the shaving of the head by men and the cutting of hair by women, tawaf al-ifada (a special circumambulation of the Kaaba, which is one of the main pillars of the Hajj), followed by the sai ritual (running between the hills of Sava and Marwa). And finally, after all these sacred and symbolic rituals, the pilgrim performs a ghusl and leaves the state of ihram, which means the end of all restrictions, except for the ban on sexual relations.
All these important rituals the pilgrims begin to perform on the 10th of Dhul-Hijj and finish on the morning of the 13th of Dhul-Hijj.
Wherever a Muslim is from the 10th to the 13th Zul Hijjah - in Mecca or somewhere else - for him these are very special days of remembrance and worship of the Almighty.
These are the days of joy and festivity, in which all food and drink are blessed by the Lord, and at the same time these are days of unceasing praise of Allah.
The prophet said:
“The day of ‘Arafah, the day of Sacrifice and the three days of at-Tashriqa are our days of holidays, O Muslims, the days of eating and drinking” (Abu Dawud).
The first meal in the morning should be the meat of the sacrificial animal.
The holiday prayer on Eid al-Adha is the same as on Eid al-Fitr. Early in the morning after Fajr, the family performs ghusl (full ablution), dresses up and goes to the place of festive prayer, reading takbir along the way.
However, this holiday has one difference, which is why it is called the greatest of the two holidays. This difference lies in the slaughter of the sacrificial animal after the Eid prayer.
Abdullah ibn Buraida said:
“The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not go out to the prayer of Conversation without eating, and did not eat before going to the prayer of the Sacrifice until he returned, after which he ate from his sacrifice” (Tirmizi).
Although the Day of Sacrifice begins holidays, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered to drink and eat, the sunnah of the Prophet is that in the morning on this day there is nothing to eat either before or after the holiday prayer, and the first food eaten on this day should be the cooked meat of the sacrificial animal.
This means that on the day of Eid al-Adha, one who wants to fulfill the sunna of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this day, in order to receive an additional reward, should not eat anything until a sacrifice is made after the holiday prayer and her meat is cooked (usually the liver is cooked first).
Of all the deeds on the Day of al-Nahr, Allah loves sacrifice the most.
The sooner the sacrificial animal is slaughtered on the morning of the 10th Dhul-Hijj after the Eid prayer, the greater the reward. However, it is permissible to bring a sacrifice on any day on the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th of the month of Zul-Hijjah.
Nowadays, it is very common to observe that people, including Muslims, turn away with disgust at the sight of blood and raw meat, which can often be found on the streets during the days of Eid al-Adha in Muslim countries, where the ritual of sacrifice is performed openly in public places.
Sometimes Muslims directly refuse to eat such meat, because it supposedly somehow smells wrong or tastes unpleasant. Some go even further and call it all a waste of time, money and effort.
May Allah protect us from such thoughts and actions!
A sincere believer in no case should show such disregard for the ritual, which the Lord Himself prescribed for us to perform after prayer, and this ritual should be accompanied by joy and enthusiasm.
« So pray to your Lord and kill"(Quran, 108:2).
Eating and distributing meat
In the Qur'an, Allah also commanded Muslims to eat meat from their sacrifice and feed it to others:
"Eat from them and feed the unfortunate poor!"(Quran, 22:28)
"... eat from them and feed those who are content with little, and those who ask from poverty"(Quran, 22:36)
It was narrated from Aisha that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said about the meat of the sacrificial animal:
“... eat, give as alms and store” (An-Nasai).
During the life of the Prophet, an exception to this rule was allowed only in one year. Then he ordered the Muslims to keep the meat of the sacrificial animal for no longer than three days, and then distribute what was left to the poor and hungry.
Abis bin Rabia said that he once asked Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): “Did the Prophet forbid eating the meat of sacrificial animals for more than three days?” She replied: “He only did this in a year when people were starving, wanting the rich to feed the poor. But then it happened that we even kept a leg of lamb to eat in fifteen days. “Why did you do that?” he asked. She chuckled and said, “There were no three days in a row when the family of Muhammad ate their fill. wheat bread with stew, and so on until he meets Allah ”(Bukhari).
These hadiths prove that the Prophet encouraged Muslims to eat meat, but he himself did not often have it on the table in his ordinary life. For us, this should be a lesson that when eating meat, one should not allow excesses.
These hadiths also testify to the wisdom of the orders of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when in one difficult year he ordered not to save the meat of a sacrificial animal for more than three days, but to feed it to the poor and needy.
He wanted almsgiving and brotherly love to help those who are suffering in difficult times, so that in a year when most of the community is starving, food can freely spread among Muslims, just as blood, passing through the whole body, helps maintain its strength.
Nubaisha narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“In order for everyone to get a share, we forbade you to eat the meat of sacrificial animals for more than three days. Now Allah has given you abundance. Eat the sacrificial meat to your full, separate a part for yourself, distribute a part, expecting a reward from Allah. Know that on these holidays you need to eat, drink and remember Allah in plenty ”(Abu Dawud).
Thus, Muslims should from the bottom of their hearts share sacrificial meat with others: relatives, neighbors, the poor, the needy. This strengthens the bonds of love and brotherhood in the community. It is also allowed to store meat in the refrigerator for your own consumption.
Conclusion
Day of Sacrifice - Eid al-Adha - Muslims celebrate the 10th of Dhul-Hijj. This holiday shows the correct and humane attitude towards animals that Allah has allowed us to eat. We sacrifice them for the pleasure of Allah in memory of the sacrifice made by the Prophet Ibrahim at the command of Allah, and we use their meat, bones and skins in a rational and lawful way, and also share them with others.
In a world where people fall into two extremes with respect to animals - either completely refusing to eat their meat or mercilessly killing them with barbaric methods in order to use them for profit - Islam offers the most balanced and expedient approach.
Therefore, obeying the commandments of Allah and the instructions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), let us enjoy the upcoming Feast of Sacrifice and devote these three days to the remembrance of Allah during the festive prayer and slaughter of animals, proclaiming His greatness and rejoicing at the completion of the great duty of the Hajj by our pilgrim brothers in Mecca .
Yesterday I filmed in Dubai the holiday of Eid al-Adhu (Eid al-Adhu), the feast of sacrifice. There were already a lot of posts in my feed about how this holiday was met in Moscow, I can say that Dubai is not much different from Moscow. I was most surprised that whole families come to watch the ceremony, a lot of children, everyone watches with interest how animals are slaughtered. Under the cut, a report from a slaughterhouse, if you are more impressionable than Dubai kids, then.
According to the Qur'an, the Archangel Jabrail (appeared to the Prophet Ibrahim) in a dream and conveyed to him a command from Allah to sacrifice his first-born Ismail. Ibrahim went to the valley of Mina to the place where Mecca now stands and began preparations, but this turned out to be a test from Allah, and when the sacrifice was almost made, Allah replaced for Ibrahim the sacrifice of a son with a sacrifice of a lamb. The holiday symbolizes mercy, the majesty of God and the fact that faith is the best sacrifice. 
As I was told, the authorities of the Emirates are struggling with unsanitary conditions and do not allow sacrifices on the street, so by eight in the morning there were huge queues at the slaughterhouses. 
Most arrived by car, those who came on foot stood in a general queue. 
Many animals resisted, they had to be carried around the neck. 
There are 2 sections at the slaughterhouse, for cows and camels and for sheep with rams. 
The service of sacrificing a beloved pet costs only 150 rubles. Each animal is assigned a number. 
Everything is paid, you can start. 
Local television also filmed a report. 
On the conveyor the animal enters the workshop ... 
Where they cut his throat. In this shop alone, 3,000 rams and sheep were slaughtered yesterday. 
The hosts are watching closely. 
Families come here, little Muslims are delighted with the spectacle. To make it convenient to observe, a special corridor with glass walls was made for the audience. 
The video will go to the family archive. 
Woo-way! 
Desk for issuing orders. Everything takes no more than 10 minutes. 
There are a lot of children, it seems that everyone enjoys the attraction very much. 
By the way, Eid al-Adha traditionally begins 70 days after the end of the fast and lasts three days. In honor of this Muslim holiday, numerous sales are held in the shopping centers of Dubai. 
It is advisable to use a third of the meat to treat your family, give a third to the poor among neighbors and relatives, and give a third as alms to those who ask for it. As the Almighty said about this: "... then eat their meat and feed those who are content with little, and those who ask from poverty." 
But many Emirati residents prefer to make sacrifices the old fashioned way, in dusty yards. 
The victim must be at least a year old, healthy and free of any blemishes. It is believed that a sheep or a goat can only be sacrificed from one person, and a cow, bull or camel - from seven people. Usually they cut a ram, a goat, a cow or a bull - two years old, a sacrificial camel, as a rule, is at least five years old. The custom allows for sacrifice not only for the living, but also for the dead. 
By the way, in most yards, for some reason, camels were killed and butchered. 
The whole family is involved in the business. 
It's good to have an expensive SUV with a large trunk. 
Over the victim, any ordinary Muslim can pronounce a short formula: “Bismillah, Allah Akbar”, that is, “In the name of Allah, Allah is great!” Before the ram is slaughtered, it must be thrown to the ground with its head towards Mecca.
Kurban Bayram or Eid al-Adha(Arabic عيد الأضحى - the feast of sacrifice) in Islam is a day of joy, thanksgiving, worship, brotherhood, solidarity and morality. A Muslim should take advantage of this day to be closer to Allah Almighty.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“Every nation has its own holiday, and this is your holiday.”
Here he referred to the fact that these two holidays (Eid al-Fitrr and Eid al-Adha) are reserved exclusively for Muslims.
Muslims have no other holidays other than these two. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
“The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to Medina, the people of Medina celebrated two holidays. In these two days they had carnivals and festivals. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked the Ansar (Muslims of Medina) about this. They replied that before Islam they had carnivals on these two joyful days. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told them: “Instead of these two days, Allah appointed two other days that are better, the days of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha” (Abu Daud).
These two holidays are one of the signs of Allah, to which we must pay attention and understand their purpose. Below we will take a closer look at the rules and etiquette of the Eid al-Adha holiday.
Eid al-Adha rules
- Fast. Fasting on this day is haram. According to the hadith of Abu Said al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), which reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade fasting on the day of Fitr and on the day of Adha (Muslim).
- Holiday prayer. Some scholars say that the holiday prayer is wajib (due, but not with such strong evidence as fard). This is according to the scientists of the Hanafi madhhab and Sheikh al-Islam ibn Taymiyyah. Some scholars say that the holiday prayer is fard Kifaya (mandatory for the Muslim community). This opinion is shared by the Hanbalis. The third group is of the opinion that the Eid al-Adha prayer is a sunnah muakkada (actions that the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) performed constantly and very rarely missed). This opinion is shared by the Malikites and the Shafiites.
- Additional prayers. There are no additional prayers that are held before or after the holiday prayer. Ibn Abbas reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prayed on the day of Eid al-Adha in two rak'ahs without additional prayers before and after. This is the case if the prayer is offered in an open space. However, if people perform the Eid prayer in the mosque, then they must pray two rak'ahs of the Tahiyatul Masjid prayer (after entering the mosque).
- Participation of women in holiday prayer. In accordance with the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), everyone is strongly recommended to take part in the festive prayer and compete with each other in piety and fear of God. A woman at the time of menstruation should not leave the remembrance of Allah or places of assembly in order to seek knowledge and remembrance of Allah - except for mosques. Women definitely shouldn't go out without a hijab.
Eid al-Adha etiquette
- Ghusl(full ablution). It is considered proper to take a bath on the day of Eid al-Adha before going to prayer. Said ibn Jubayr was reported to have said: "Three things are sunnah on Eid: go to the place of Eid prayer, take a bath and eat before going out (if it is Eid al-Fitr)."
- Food before prayer. Unlike the Eid al-Fitr holiday, in which it is recommended to take an odd number of dates before going to prayer, it is recommended not to eat on Eid ul-Fitr until the end of the holiday prayer, when you can eat the meat of the sacrificial animal.
- Takbir on Eid al-Fitr. This is one of the biggest sunnahs on this day. Al-Darakutni and others reported that when Ibn Umar went out on Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, he diligently recited takbir until he reached the place of prayer and continued to do takbir until the imam came.
- Happy Holidays. People can exchange congratulations and good wishes on Eid, in any verbal form. For example, they can say to each other “Takabbal Allahu minna wa minkum” (May Allah accept from you and from us), “Eid Mubarak” (Happy Eid). Jubayr ibn Nufair said: “During the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), when people met each other on the day of Eid, they said: “Takabbal Allah minna wa minkum” (Narrated by Ibn Hajar)
- Wearing your best clothes on Eid. Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had a jubba (cloak) that he wore on Eid and on Fridays.” Al-Bayhaqi reported that Ibn Umar wore his best clothes on Eid, so men should wear their best clothes when they go out on Eid.
- Change of itinerary upon return from Eid Prayer. Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) changed his route on his return on the day of Eid from the holiday prayer. (Al-Bukhari).
From sunset on the eve of Eid al-Adha until Eid prayer, Muslims recite the takbir loudly. Takbir is read in mosques, and at home, and on the street, and in squares - everywhere.
Such a widespread loud reading of takbir on both days of id (Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr) is a sign that this settlement (village, city) is Muslim.
اَلله اَكْبَرْ اَلله اَكْبَرْ اَلله اَكْبَرْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الله وَالله اَكْبَرْ الله اَكْبَرْ وَللهِ الْحَمْدُ
الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر ألله اَكْبَرْ كَبِيرًا وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ كَثِيرًا وُسُبْحَانَ اللهِ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلاً
“Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Lailaha illallahu wallahu akbar, Allahu akbar wa lillahil hamd (three times).
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. Allahu akbar kabiran walhamdulillahi kasiran wa subhanallahi bukratan wa asila."
In addition, takbir is also read after each prayer - immediately after its completion, before the start of azkars (prayers read after prayer), starting after the evening prayer of the day of Arafah and ending with the sunset prayer last day Tashriq, that is, on the 13th.
A sacrifice is made for an adult Muslim with the appropriate intention. Camels, cows (bulls), rams or goats can be used for sacrifice (other animals are not suitable). Their preference corresponds to the order of enumeration. At the same time, a camel and a cow can be slaughtered for seven, and a ram and a goat - only for one Muslim. But it is better to sacrifice a ram or a goat for each than to slaughter one cow for seven. If one ram or goat is slaughtered in a family, then the whole family receives a reward.
Salat ul-id - holiday prayer
Eid prayer is performed in the same way as on the day of Eid al-Fitr. Whoever does not know how the holiday prayer is performed, let him perform at least the usual sunnah prayer in two rak'ats, with the intention of performing the holiday prayer. But since such an opportunity appears once a year, you need to try not to miss it, and if you missed it, then even compensate it as missed. It is no exception for those who are on the road.
At the beginning of id-namaz, they say “Allahu akbar” while mentally pronouncing the intention (niyyat): “I intend to perform a two-rakah sunnah prayer on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, in the name of Allah».
Then, who knows, let him read Vajahtu. After that, in the first rak'ah, they say "Allahu Akbar" 7 times, while raising their hands to the level of their ears. After each "Allahu Akbar", with the exception of the last, say:
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الله ُوَالله ُاَكْبَرْ
After the last "Allahu akbar" they read the sura "al-Fatiha". In the second rak'ah, "Allahu Akbar" is read 5 times. After the holiday prayer, the imam delivers a holiday sermon.
Time of sacrifice
Most best time for the sacrifice comes on the tenth day of the month of Zul-Hijja, after the passage of time for the performance of two rak'ahs of prayer and khutba, when the sun rises by the size of a spear, approximately the size of seven cubits. This time is preserved until sunset on the last day of Tashriq, i.e., on the 13th of Zul-Hijjah.
How to cut
It is necessary to cut the entire throat and esophagus. It is advisable for the one who slaughters the sacrificial animal to show pity for him, not to roughly drag him to the place of slaughter. It must be placed on the ground carefully, not tightly tightening the legs, leaving the right one unbound. The knife should be sharpened so that the animal does not see. Do not cut him in the presence of other animals, especially his cubs. The knife should be sharpened so that it is enough to pass it over the throat once. During the sacrifice, it is necessary to give praise to Allah Almighty for the fact that He subdued animals to us, and for His great blessings (“Sharhul Mafrouz”, p. 577).
It is also desirable for a man to slaughter the sacrificial animal himself or to be present when his representative brings the sacrifice. It is also advisable to say the takbir three times before making a sacrifice with the words: "Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar wa lillahil hamd". Then it is advisable to say "Bismillah". Don't pronounce "Bismillah" in Qibla, read the dua: "Allagyumma gyaza minka, wa ilyayka, fatakabbal minni"(“Sunanul Kubra lil Baihaki”, No. 9/286).
What to do with meat?
The most valuable thing is to leave a little for yourself and your family, to give all the meat to the poor. It is better for yourself to leave the liver, following the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who ate it from the meat of a sacrificial animal, as it is narrated in Sunanul Kubra Lil Bayhakiy (3/283). If it is not possible to distribute it completely, then it is sunnah not to keep more than 1/3 of the carcass for yourself. It is also sunnah to distribute at least 1/3 of the sacrifice as alms. The meat must be served raw. It is not enough to give in charity fried, boiled meat, fat or fat tail, liver, spleen. The skin of the victim is not (haram) to be sold. Kurban is not cut for someone without his permission, even if this person has died. But scholars such as Kaffal and Ubadi bin Abul Hasan say that one can cut for a deceased relative, but all the meat must be distributed (“Nihayatul Mukhtaj”, No. 8/144).
When does sacrifice become obligatory?
A sacrifice becomes obligatory if someone made a nazra, that is, he undertook to cut or called some animal his kurban. For example, if he said that this ram will be slaughtered in Eid al-Adha, then this becomes an obligatory kurban (“Havashi Shirvani”, No. 9/356). In this case, the meat must be distributed completely. In order for the sacrifice not to become obligatory, it is necessary to use the word "desirable", that is, to say, pointing to the animal: "This is my desired kurban."
