The Command for

Qurbaani is forAll Muslims

The Qurbaani has been made waajib (incumbent) upon the whole Ummah and not only upon the pilgrims. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, the Sahaabah radhiyallahu anhum, Taabi'een and the whole of the Ummah all over have kept up this waajib steadfastly through all ages. It is a command of Allah to all, be they in Makkah, Madinah or any other part of the globe.

It is not a distinguished feature confined to Makkah Mukarramah, nor as wrongly understood by some, to be a specialty only attached to rituals of Hajj and for pilgrims therein.

The Qurbaani under discussion is incumbent on every person in every town after ascertaining its conditions, which are mentioned in "

The sacrifice offered by pilgrims as part of the rituals of Hajj is known as dam-e-shukr, (sacrifice of thanksgiving) which is waajib upon those performing Hajj-e-Qiraan or Hajj-e-Tamattu' and Mustahab (desirable) for those performingHajj-e-Ifraad.

Those who hold the view that Qurbaani is confined only to Makkah Mukarramah have based their opinion on total ignorance of the Qur'aan and Sunnah. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam and Sahaabah radhiyallahu anhum performed Qurbaani in Madinah and elsewhere every year as is evident from the Ahaadeeth mentioned hereunder:

Abdullah Ibne 'Umar radhiyallahu anhu reports that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam lived in Madinah Munawwarah for ten years. He performed Qurbaani (every year).

"On this day of ours, our first act of worship is the offering of salaat, thereafter we will return and slaughter the sacrifices. Whosoever acts accordingly, concords with our Sunnah (way), and whosoever has offered Qurbaani (before the salaat) then that was a thing which he prepared earlier for his family and it would not be considered as a Qurbaani."

(Bukhaari pp. 133 Vol.1) (Muslim pp. 154 Vol.2)

(Bukhaari pp. 835 Vol.2 )

Ali radhiyallahu anhu used to sacrifice two animals every year for Qurbaani; one for himself and one on behalf of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam and used to say that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam has ordered me to offer a Qurbaani on his behalf (every year) until I remain alive.

(Mustadrak of Haakim)

'Aasim Ibne Kulayb narrates from his father that we were engaged in a war with the enemy in Persian land. Our commander was a Companion of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. We became worried that the days of Qurbaani have neared and we are unable to find one-year-old goats. Thereupon Mushaaji' Ibne Mas'ood radhiyallahu anhu said: "If goats are not available then it does not matter. I have heard from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam that to offer a ram which is more than six months old is also permissible for Qurbaani. Therefore offer it for Qurbaani.

(Mustadrak of Haakim) (Nasa’ee)

Anas radhiyallahu anhu relates that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam sacrificed two homed rams, black and white in colour, at Madinah.
