 وَأَقُولُوا فِي القُرْآنِ مَا جَاءَتْ بِيهِ اَيَاتُوهُ فَهُوَ الْكَارِيمُ الْمُنْزَالُوْ وَأَقُولُوا قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُوْهُ وَالْمُصْطَافَ الْهَاديِ وَلَا أَتْ أَوْوَالُوْ الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأشد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى in today's Friday night reflection we'll be talking about أحكام العشر من دل حجة والأضحية والعيد we'll be talking about three things إن شاء الله تعالى أحكام regarding the ten days of دل حجة these ten days that we're in and we'll also be speaking about the أضحية the slaughtering the sacrifice and the third thing that we'll be speaking about is the عيد all three of them we're gonna mainly focus on the أحكام the jurisprudence rulings the do's and the don'ts what you can and what you can't do الله سبحانه وتعالى he chooses days of the week and he chooses months وربك يخلقوا ما يشاء ويختار وربك يولود وربك يخلقوا الله creates ويختار and he chooses الله chooses whichever day he wants to give superiority to he chooses which month he wants to give شرف وبركة he does what he wishes and from the days in which الله تبارك وتعالى chose is these ten days that we're in the first ten days of دل حجة الله chose them سبحانه وتعالى he picked them the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he narrated in the صحيح and and he narrated in the سنان من حديث ابن عباس ابن عباس he said قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم the messenger said ما من أيام العمل ما من أيام العمل الصالح فيه احبه إلى الله there is no days which righteous actions are moved beloved to Allah then من هذه الأيام then these ten days فقالوا يا رسول الله the companions they said oh messenger of Allah وللجهاد في سبيل الله even jihad the messenger said ولجهاد في سبيل الله and even jihad إلا رجل except a man خرج به نفسه وماله فلم يرجع من ذلك بشيء even jihad except a man who went to the battlefield and he died and his wealth also went with him meaning it perished his wealth got destroyed and his nafs got destroyed that's an exception but other than that these ten days are better than everything so these ten days الله تبارك وتعالى chose them what are the things that we need to do in these ten days how should we deal with these ten days number one التوبة الصادقة we have to come with true repentance we have to repent to Allah تبارك وتعالى the three conditions of repentance and that we regret what we did in the past number two القلاع that we free ourselves from that sin and we get away from it and the third is العزم we make the unwavering conviction that we don't want to go back to that sin ever again the second thing that we need to do is we make the decision العزم الجاد على اختنام هذه الأيام من الأجور that we make unwavering conviction that we are going to benefit from these days we make that decision we say to ourselves that these days we will make sure that we come with righteous actions righteous deeds we will do what Allah told us to do and we will stay away from what Allah told us to stay away from and the third is البعض عن المعاصي staying away from sins you stay away from sinning and shortcoming those are the three things that we need to do in these ten days I want to first answer a question which is why has Allah why has Allah who سبحانه وتعالى chosen these ten days why has He chosen these ten days the answer to your question is in the following number one أن الله التعالى اقسم بها الله سوى by these ten days الله who سبحانه وتعالى He's swore by these ten days إذ العظيم لا يُقصِم إلا بالعظيم the great one الله عز و جل He won't swear by something unless it's great so these days have to be great الله سبحانه وتعالى He said والفجر واليال العشر and this is the view of the جمهور المفصرين the overwhelming majority of scholars of Tafseer they have the opinion that واليال العشر is meant by the ten days of الحجة and it's the view that إبنو كثير الرحمة الله He said وهو الصحيح عين دي أكون إبنو كثير said واليال العشرين it means these ten days that we're in but when we were doing the Tafseer of صورة الفجر we strengthened the opposite opinion but scholars like إبنو كثير and others they hold the opinion that واليال العشرين it means these ten days that we're in so الله سبحانه وتعالى I swore by it the second reason why these ten days are virtuous that they are noble ten days is because إنه يوم الإكمال الديني وإتمام النعمة it is the day when Allah completed the religion and He bestowed His complete blessing onto His creation قالت اليهود الي عمار بن الخطاب رضي الله تعالى عنه a group of Jews they said to عمار رضي الله عنه إنكم تقرأون آية you guys are reciting a verse لو نزلت فينا was to come down on us Jews لتخذناها عيدة we would have made that day aeid there is a verse in your Qur'an that you are all reading if it came down on us Jews we would have made that day aeid فقال عمار said to him إني آي لأعلى محيث ووزلت the ayah that you're talking about I know where it came down on and what it came down for وإينا أنزلت and when it was sent down and where it was sent down وإينا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم I even know where the messenger was when this ayah came down حين أنزلت when it was sent down on to him يوم عرفة it was the day of Arafa وإنه والله بي الله يوم عرفة يوم عرفة سوفيان الثوريو who is in the senate who narrated it from Qais he had a doubt was it a friday or not but there is another Rewire that Misar who narrated from Qais that he said that it was on friday so the narration where Soufian is doubtful is eradicated is ignored because there is another senate where it came where it is clear that it was friday so listen اليوم أكملت لكم دينكم وأتممت عليكم نعمة وراضيت لكم الإسلام الدينة that was the verse this verse it came down on a friday which is the Eid of the week and it also came down on the day of Arafa and the day of Arafa was the day after it إيد الأضحة إيد الأضحة is the day so what Umar was saying to him is we don't need to make it a Eid it already came down on two Eids because what the Jew man wanted to do to Umar was he wanted Umar to do innovation and take that verse as celebration and celebrate it but Umar was clever and smart enough to realize that he is not going to fall for that the point that we want to take from this is this verse came down in these 10 days it came down on the 9th of the Al-Hijjah which is the day of Arafa are we all together brothers so this shows us the virtue of these 10 days also the virtues of these 10 days number 3 is المباعفة the righteous deeds are multiplied these days number 4 أنها الأيام المعلومات التي شرع فيها ذكره it is the days where Allah legislated and prescribed for his remembrance to be done Allah says in the Quran ويذكر اسم الله في أيام المعلومات على ما رزقهم من بهيمة العام ويذكر اسم الله they remember Allah في أيام المعلومات prescribed days appointed days عبد الله بن عمر عبد الله بن عبس جمهور العلماء the overwhelming majority of scholars they said that أيام المعلومات here is referring to what these 10 days of the Al-Hijjah these first 10 days of the Al-Hijjah so this is the Tafseer of Ibn Abbas and Ibn Umar and the view that Ibn Kathir strengthened and Mujahid and Baha'a all of them they said it means أيام المعلومات means what these 10 days of the Al-Hijjah number 5 the fifth reason why these 10 days are chosen by Allah سبحانه وتعالى is بأنها أفضل أيام الدنيا these are the best days in the whole entire days in the world these 10 days these 10 days are the 10 best days in the world the messenger said this الإمام البزار narrated by Isnad in Hassanin and Abu Ya'la narrated it as well الشيخ ناصر رحمه الله authenticated it and Ibn Ha'ban mentioned it in his Sahih that he said that the prophet جابرنا عبد الله he said that the messenger said أفضل أيام الدنيا العشر the best 10 the best days are the 10 days of the Al-Hijjah ولا مثلهن في سبيل الله there is no day in the cause of Allah equal to it this is very powerful that these 10 days are the 10 best days in the entire world number 6 أن فيها يوم عرفة the day of Arafa is in these 10 days وما أدراكة ما يوم عرفة what do you know about the day of Arafa the messenger told us in a hadith با الإمام البخاري narrated in his Sahih أحمد narrated in his Musnad ترميدي narrated in his Sunan that the messenger said يكفر صنة الماضية والباقية the day of Arafa last year since that you done and next year since that you're going to do you'll be forgiven for it and Shaykhul Islam ibn Taymeh said it encompasses the major sins as well it encompasses the major sins as well so it's the minor and the major sins will be forgiven for you if you do what we will talk about later about يوم عرفة يوم عرفة the past year sin that you did is all gone and the year to come it's forgiven for you the messenger told us the best dua that a human being can ever make the best one is on the day of Arafa the messenger said خير دعاء دعاء عرفة وخير ما قلت أنا والنبيون من قبل لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك لا لو الملك ولو الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير the messenger said خير الدعاء دعاء عرفة the best dua is the dua of Arafa the best there is no dua like the day of Arafa then the messenger told us what is the best thing to say وخير ما قلت and the best thing I said not only me والنبيون من قبل and the prophets who came before me the best thing that they said was لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك لا لو الملك ولو الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير and the people who told me the narrated it and the people who narrated it in his Mwatta and Sheikh Nasser رحمه الله he authenticated it the seventh reason why these ten days are virtuous is انفها يوم النحر the day of Nahr is in it and the day of Nahr is يوم العاشر it's the tenth day of منذ الحجاء the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and look what he said about this day the prophet said إن أعظم الأيامي from the greatest days إن الله to Allah عز وجل is تبارك وتعالى يوم النحري ثم يوم القرر The best days to Allah تبارك وتعالى is from the best days to Allah تبارك وتعالى is the day of نحر the day of the sacrifice will talk about that in great detail soon إن شاء الله تبارك وتعالى And next comes what يوم القرر يوم القرر is what it is the day after the يوم النحر it's the eleventh day it is the eleventh day of the الحجة and the reason why it's called القرر is يوم الاستقراري بمنى it's the day where the حجاج they remain residents in منى So ponder here and contemplate with me إن أعظم الأيامي one of the best days is that day يوم النحري and the day of القرر which are part of the ten days or يوم القرر is not it's on the eleventh day لكن يوم النحري is it's in the ten days number eight the eighth reason why these ten days Allah gave it virtue over any days in the year is اجتماع أمهات العبادة فيها the mother the mother of عبادة are found only in these ten days no other time in the year would you find the types of عبادة that combine in these ten days no other place حافظه من حجر and he said in فتح الباري the second volume page 534 he said والذي يظهروا النس سبب في امهات العبادة فيه وهي الصلاة والسيام والصدقة والحج ولا يتأثى ذلك في غيره he says والذي يظهر even Hajar says what seems apparent for the reason why these ten days were given the virtue that it was given over every other days in the year is لمكان اجتماع أمهات العبادة the mother of عبادة are present in it وهي and they are الصلاة والصيام صلاة this is the month these are the ten days which we will talk about later and the fasting and صدقة the charity والحج going to do Haj and he said after that ولا يتأثى ذلك في غيره and it's not present in any other time in the year of these ten days these are the eight reasons والله تباركوا تعالى he chose these ten days they're not the only reasons but some of the reasons now I want to go into العمال المستحبة the recommended acts that a person should come with in these ten days acts that I will encourage you all to come with the first one I already mentioned it before but I'm going to emphasize it on it again التوبة repent والإقلاع عن المعاصي و جميع الذنوب repent to Allah تباركوا تعالى and come back from your short coming and your mistakes ask Allah for forgiveness for everything because Ibn ul Qayyim said رحمه الله المعاصي سبب البعدي والطرد since are the reasons والله تباركوا تعالى he distanced his mercy from you he distanced from you his forgiveness this is the reason why what took us out of Jannah because Allah was disobeyed why was Iblis taken out of Jannah from the gathering of the angels was sins since brothers are سبب البعدي والطرد the reason why you are distanced and you are chucked out of the mercy of Allah تباركوا تعالى وطعا to obedience is أسباب القربي والود it is the reason why Allah will bring you close and he will love you سبحانه وتعالى so this month sorry this is 10 days you work hard in repenting and coming back from your sins and your shortcomings and asking Allah for forgiveness the messing that told us in the hadith narrated in Bukhari and Muslim إن الله يغار وإن المؤمن يغار وغيرت الله أن يأتي المؤمن ما حرم عليه إن الله يغار الله تباركوا تعالى has protective jealousy وإن المؤمن يغار and so does the believer وغيرت الله and the jealousy of Allah تباركوا تعالى is أن يأتي المؤمن that the believer comes with ما حرم عليه he comes with that which Allah prohibited from him is it sensible to use the word jealousy for Allah is there a better translation but you understand them in protective jealousy نعم the second thing that we need to work hard to doing this month so these 10 days sorry is الصلاة praying we need to pray a lot brothers الجمعة والجماعات make sure that you come to the Friday congregation early make sure that you are there where no one is there make sure that you come to the congregation تكبيرت الحرام and you pray the Salah with the Imam you come early to the masjid you sit there and you wait for the Salah make sure that after you pray Salatul Al-Fajiri you don't move from your position you stay there until the sun rises this is days of righteous actions a days where you exert effort the third thing is that you do Hajj and Umrah in these 10 days if you are able to that you go and you do Hajj and you do Umrah number 4 is الصيام فاستن الإمام مسلم on the authority of أبي قتاد عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم that the messenger said صيام يوم عرفة the fasting of the day of عرفة احتسب على الله I hope from Allah the messenger said ان يكفر سنة التي قبلة والسنة التي بعدة the messenger said the fasting of the day of عرفة I hope from it that Allah will forgive you for the year that passed the sins that you did and the year to come Allah will forgive you for both of those years the sins who from amongst us does not want to be forgiven who doesn't we all want it then this day is the day you need to fast so the fasting of these 10 days I've broken it into two if you can't fast the 10 days then at least get ready for your معرفة and fast on the day of عرفة and the second one is the fasting of all of these 10 days حفصة she said ألمان محمد نريتن is مسلم للنسائي she said أرباعون four لم يكن يجعوهن the messenger never used to leave it صلى الله عليه وسلم صيام عاشورة the fasting of عاشورة والعشراء and the ten وثلاثة أيام من كل شهر and three days of every month ورقعتيني قبل الغدات and the two rقع before Fajar these four the messenger never used to leave it صلى الله عليه وسلم so we need to make sure that these 10 days if we don't fast at all what are we going to do we at least fast the day of عرفة number five التكبير والتحميد والتهليل والذك we need to do تكبير say الله أكبر we need to do تحميد say الحمد لله we need to say لا إله إلا الله and we need to make many اذكار our mouth should not be dry from the remembrance of Allah that's why Allah said ويذكر اسم الله في أيام معلومات in these ten days remembrance of Allah تبارك وتعالى the men they raise their voices they raise their voices but the women don't and I'll expand on that later the تكبير that the person needs to say in these days when you look at the statement of the scholars it's categorized into two التكبير المطلق the unrestricted تكبير and that is the one that you do في كل وقت every time من ليلة أو نهارة ويبدأوا بدخول شهر يلحجة it is the one that you do whether it's day whether it's night as the day that it's announced when it's entered يبدأ from your mouth especially the تكبير and it carries on إلى آخر أيام التشريق it carries on three days after the day of عيد you carry on it you don't stop that's the general unrestricted تكبير and then there's a second type which is التكبير المقيد the restricted type of تكبير and this is the one that he said يكونوا عقب الصلاة it's the one that's done after the prayer and what he's chosen is that it's said after every salah whatever salah it may be and it starts in the morning of يوم عرفة and it carries on until صلاة العصري the last day of أيام التشريق which is the thirteenth of دلحجة it carries on so it starts فجر يوم عرفة and it carries on to when the last the day of the last salah for it is what? عصر مغربين it enters like ألمان مشرفعي he put مغرب in there like what seems apparent is that it's not the person should make a lot of ذكر وليذلك it is recommended to say a lot of ذكر عبد الله ابن عمر رضي الله وتعالى عنه as an Imam Muhammad narrated in his Muslim he used to say فأكثروا فيهن من التهليل والتكبير والتحميل he used to say to the people when he would see them out not moving عبد الله ابن عمر and would say to them أكثروا فيهن increase in these days تهليل لا إله إلا الله الله أكبر أنا الحمد لله and an Imam Al-Bukhari you mentioned that عبد الله ابن عمر and Abu Huraira both of them would go together كان يخروا جانين they would both go out إلى السوق to the market in these ten days فأكبروانا وكبيروا الناس وكبيروا الناس وبتكبرهم they would do the takbir and the people would do the takbir after they hear them say it but that does not mean that the takbir was said once it wasn't said in one voice raising the takbira with one voice is not from the sunnah and it's not transmitted from the Salaf-ul-Saal-يح but what it means is that عبد الله بن عمر ون أبو هوريرا سيقوم بعملها ون يتذكر الناس ون يقوم بعملها أيضا لكن لا يقوم بعملها معاً يجب أن يقوم بعملها معاً ون نحن ممتعاً لكي نفعلها بعض المجردين يعتقدون أنه يجب أن يعملها لأنه من المتحدة بالله وليد كبير الله على ما هداكم بعمل تكبير لأنه ما الله يساعدنا to سبحانه وتعالى وصغة التكبير وفق من تكبيرك الخوان is Donc isishment forこんな where these three forms the first form is and the first way which you should say it is الله أكبر الله أكبر الله أكبر كبير that's the first the second one is الله أكبر الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله وعوا الله أكبر الله أكبر وليلله الحمد the third one is الله أكبر الله أكبر الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله والله أكبر، والله أكبر، والله أكبر و لله الحمد والسيخة التي نحتاج لها هو تثرت الأعمال الصالحة لدينا أن نتكفي في الأخبار الصحيحة هذه 10 داستي تتتعبوا إلى السيخ هذه 10 داستي تتعبوا بأجد and تبقوا بأسوأ هذه 10 داستي تتعبوا صدقا هذه 10 داستي تتعبوا بأسوأة منك إذا كانت تتعبوا بأسوأة لك كانت تتعبوا بأسوأة لك في هذه 10 داستي تتعبوا بأسوأة لكي لا تستطيع التعب نمتة 7 و أنا going to stand on this for a little bit من الأفقات التي نحتاج لها مفتاحا ركما أنها صحية و أنا going to speak about it in detail إن شاء الله و تعالى الالاردانه مثل يوم النهر It's done on يوم النهر and يوم النهر is أولو أيام العيد it's the first day of the عيد and then after that comes What? أيام التشريق the slaughtering is also done in the days of the تشريق which is the second the third and the fourth day after رمضان this is the سلعبه second and the third and the fourth day is رمضان so it's 3 days and وَنَ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكُوَةَ عَلَى تَوْدَسْ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَا بَلَغَ مَا بَلَغَ مَا عَوْسَّعِيْ قال يا بُنَيَّ اِنِّيْ اَرَافِ الْمَلَامِ اَنِّيْ اَذْبَحُكَ فَا فَانْظُرْ مَا دَا تَرَاءَ قال يا أبَةِ فْعَلْمَا تُؤْمرَ نبي الله إبراهيم كامته سان إسماعيد وقال أنه رأيته في حراراته وراءه ماهذا ونبي الله إسماعيد ساته هو أبراهيم أبراهيم أبراهيم أبراهيم أبراهيم أبراهيم كما أنك كامانته تفعله وذلك الله قلت لنا أنه عندما يجب أن يدفعه للسلوة الله قلت لنا وفديناه بذبح العظيم الله قلت لنا بذبح العظيم وذلك now became that became the slaughter and it started from there ونحن نسأل الله عليه وسلم أنه سلوة وإمام البخاري والمسلم and it became both narrated من حريفه أنس رضي الله وتعالى عنه that he said باح عن نبيه the messenger he sacrificed بكبشين أملحين أقرنين دباحه ما بيده two goats or sheeps goats goats who had horns he slaughtered them صلى الله عليه وسلم with his two hands وكبر عنه did the takbir he said بسم الله الله أكبر the messenger put his knee on the animal and he pulled the neck of the animal and he slaughtered it himself عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم so it's a sunnah to slaughter but the one who wants to slaughter what is it that he needs to do number one if you're planning to do the slaughter what are the things that you need to do number one if the ten days of the al-Hijjah entered and you've made the decision that you want to slaughter the ten days of the al-Hijjah entered and you've made the decision to slaughter then you should not take from your nails you should not take from your hair whether that hair is on your face or your body based on the حديث أم السلامة that is found in صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا دخلت العشر if the ten days of the al-Hijjah entered وأراد أحدكم and one of you intends أن يبحية one of you wants to slaughter فلا يمس من شعره وبشره شيئا don't touch your hair and don't touch your body parts meaning don't touch your nails and don't touch the hair that's on your body second point this prohibition is specific to the person who is slaughtering not the family members that is slaughtering on their behalf so the wife is allowed to cut her hair the wife is allowed to take from her nails even if her husband isn't allowed to because he's the one who's doing the slaughtering because the messengers صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا أراد أحدكم if one of you intends the one who's doing it and it wasn't mentioned on behalf of those who is doing it and so because the messengers didn't say it no one can make obligatory on them that they have to keep their body parts or they can't cut no one can prohibit it from them number three anyone who takes from their body parts meaning their hair, their nails, their beard their nails their hair anyone who takes from it deliberately with no excuse he does it then this person has done a sin they need to repent but there's no expiation and they can still go forward in their slaughter they can still go forward in doing their slaughter و لكن عليهم التوبة إلى الله عز و جل they need to repent to Allah by what they did number four is the slaughtering it's done بعد صلاة العيد after the صلاة العيد the messengers said من ذبح قبل أن يصليها anyone who slaughters before he prays فليعد مكانها أخرى و من لم يذبح فليذبح if a person slaughters and does the sacrifice before the salah the messengers said then do another one after the salah exchange it with another one and if you didn't slaughter at all then slaughter the slaughtering is done in four days يوم النحر and the three days of أيام التشريق because the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said in a hadith كل أيام التشريق ذبح the messenger said كل أيام التشريق ذبح all of the days of the تشريق is slaughter so يوم النحر and the three days this answers many people's questions what about if they sent a slaughter to another country and they are slaughtering it and they are one day or two days after me etc it doesn't matter as long as he's done what after the salah it can be done in any of those three days okay و سنة the sooner is the person who the slaughter is doing it he participates in the slaughter that's the sooner number six is it's recommended that you yourself do the slaughtering you take the blade yourself and you try to do it and you do the تكبير you say بسم الله الله أكبر like the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم did number seven و أيقل منها شيان it's also recommended that you eat from it and this is based on the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم at the hadith كان لا يطعم with the messenger never used to eat the day of عيد الأضحى he never used to eat before he went to the salah he wouldn't eat عليه الصلاة والسلام and he would only eat when he came back and he would eat from what food the أضحية that he slaughtered عليه الصلاة والسلام so based on that شيخو الاسلام بيبنو تيميا and ابنو القيم زاد المعاد they mentioned that the عيد الأضحى the salah should be made one hour at least earlier than صلاة الفطري عيد الفطري because عيد الفطري the people are going to eat enjoy themselves and then they're going to go out like in عيد الأضحى the people have slaughtering to do so it's recommended that it's what that it's done early because people are going to wake up and straight away they're going to go number 8 the slaughtering is better than giving money some people they give money to the poor and the needy the slaughtering is better and the animal is better because this is the sunnah of our messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم number 9 one goat will suffice a man in his family this is based on the hadith of أبو أيوب ربي الله تعالى عنه لما سؤاله when he was asked كيف كانت بحايا على أهد رسول الله how was the sacrifice at the time of the messenger فقاله سد كان الرجل يضحي بالشاتي and a man would sacrifice with a goat for himself عنه وعن أهلي بيتي and his family فا يأكلون they will eat it ويطعمون and they will give others حتى تباه الناس فصارت كما ترى الامام ماليك narrated in still midi authenticated and narrated in the sunnah and also ابن ماجه وإسناده صحيح and the chain is authentic what about seven people and their families seven people and their families a camel or a cow a camel or a cow will suffice seven people and their families this is based on the hadith of jabir مسلم narrated in his صحيح حججنا مع رسول الله we did Hajj with the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم فنحرنا البعيرة we slaughtered the camel and subatin for seven والبقرة and subatin and the cow for seven what's the difference between نحر and دبح هاية هاية نحر is specific for the camel and دبح is what it's for anything other than the camel generally number eleven what is the bare minimum the bare minimum a person can do if he has to slaughter the bare minimum that the Sharia I will accept from him the bare minimum is من الضعني ماله نصف سنة and it's the one they call الجذع the Arabs call it جذع if it's half a year six months the sheep الضعني الضعني is what it is the sheep that six months is the bare minimum that can be accepted from anyone okay this is based on the hadith حكبة عمرين he said ضحينا مع رسول الله we sacrificed with the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم بجذع رين من الضعني a sheep that was six months number twelve what type of camel and goat and cow is allowed what type of cow and camel and goat is permissible the cow and the camel and the goat which is permissible is the one that the Arabs called مسنة you can only do that the camel which is مسنة and the bakar which is مسنة and the معيز the goat which is مسنة and what is that it's the camel which is five years the camel when it's five years the Arabs they call it مسنة when the cow is two years they call it مسنة and the معيز when it's one year they call it مسنة and this is based on the hadith of Jabir رضي الله وطعاله عنو قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم the messenger said لا تدبعوا إلا مسنة توسلو تا except the مسنة إلا أن يعصر أحدكم عليكم unless it's hard on one of you فتدبعوا جد عتين من أبطاني that when you can't then go for the sheep that we just mentioned which is six months then you're allowed or a goat that's six months you're allowed no problem but that's when there is a week you're unable to number 13 what is the best one for me to slaughter can you give us the order of the best to the lowest the best is the إبل it's the كامل then the cow if you're slaughtering the whole entire cow and you're giving it out that's the best one from the بطن are you with me the بطن is the reason why I said the whole cow because some people they just take half of the cow and they leave the rest no, it's all of it and then the ضعن which is the sheep and then the معيز which is the goat it is in that order what about the characteristics of that animal that it's أسمن it's شبي the more chubby is the more better it is the more complete the animal is and the more well-mannered that animal is meaning the whole reason why the شريعة wants is something you love to give it out for the sake of Allah four things brothers and sisters لا تجزوا فيه الأضاحي and animal that has these four characteristics you're not allowed to slaughter you're not allowed to sacrifice and this is taken from the حديث of برايبن العازب برايبن العازب رضي الله تعالى عنه البرايبن العازب رضي الله تعالى عنه he said that the Prophet ﷺ he said أربع لا تجزوا فيه الأضاحي four sacrifices are not allowed العوراء والبين عورها a one-eyed animal which is obvious that it's lost one of his eyesight والمريضة البين مرضها a sick animal which is obviously sick it's apparent that it's sick والعرجاء البين ظلعها the third one is a lame animal which obviously lives one body part missing it's got three legs and number four والكسيرة التي لا تنقي and an old animal which has no marrow it's old and the meat on it and it's very very little those four that are جوزوا فيه الأضاحي you are not allowed to sacrifice those four what about الأضحية عن الميتي I have a family member who died I lost my father or my uncle or whatever I want to slot on his behalf it has situations الحال الأولى the first situation is إذا كانت إنفاذا للوصية if you are doing a وصية a family member died and they made it their وصية their farewell that it be done for them a slaughter and you're fulfilling that for the person who was dying or who died then فيه صحيحة then it's correct your slaughtering is allowed ويصل أجروها إلى الميتي إن شاء الله تعالى and the reward will reach that person who died on his death but he said to you سلوطة في مي and you said I will إن شاء الله تعالى then this one إن شاء الله reach the dead the second one is the second situation is ايام فريد الميتي to be أضحية تبروعا a person goes and he slaughtes and he says I am not doing this slaughter or this sacrifice only for فولان who passed away this one we will say it is not permissible and it won't reach the dead because Allah said in the Quran وَأَلَّيْسَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَى everybody will only get what they work for and the only actions that the Sharia allow for you to do for your family that will reach them is what was mentioned okay number 3 the third situation is the person he slaughtes for himself and he slaughtes for his family members and he also slaughtes for somebody who died so he's not specific to that person then insha'Allah we will say فَيُرُجَا we hope insha'Allah that it reaches them and this is the these three steps was mentioned by شيخ العلمة محمد من الصالح العثيمين has a book called أحكام الأضحية which he mentioned رضي رحمه الله رحمة واسعة now I'm going to go to the last point which is صلاة العيد صلاة العيد صلاة العيد what is it that we need to do I'm going to mention 8 things إن شاء الله first of all is التكبير from the day of عرفة in the fajr of عرفة until the last day of أيام التشريق تكبير brothers don't stop the تكبير number 2 الذهابوا إلى مصلاة العيد the place where the صلاة is being done go there ماشيا walking into الصراة if you're able to don't drive because the مصلاة is close to you then walk to it إن شاء الله walking is better number 3 The sunnah is وصنة صلاة that the sunnah is that the صلاة العيد is done in the مصلاة إلا إذا كان هناك عذر من مطرن unless there is a reason like rain is descending on the people then it's permissible for people to go and pray or it's then good for people to pray in the masjid not to bring harm to the people number 4 الصلاة مع المسلمين the صلاة with the muslims the person should do that rather it is obligatory to participate in صلاة العيد it's wajib and the evidence for it being wajib is فصل لي لي ربكة ونحر فصل لي لي ربكة is a command and the عرب the علما they mention the علما they mention والأمر والأمر والأمر تقتضي الوجوب the أمر it shows obligation والأمر يقتضي الوجوب the أمر it shows obligation فصل لي pray لي ربكة ونحر and this is talking about صلاة العيد because what is mentioned here is the slota as you can see and sheikh will Islam be and he argued that same point to show you that it's obligatory is even the women who are on their menses and that are on their postnatal bleeding are also combining towards for them to participate in the عيد the prophet said أخرجوهم take the women out of from their houses ألحو يضي ونفساء the women who are on their menses and the women who are on their postnatal bring them out they're not praying but they still have to come so there's no excuse for not to come number 5 is مخالفة الطريق if you've taken one path then take the opposite path if you went on one particular road when you were going there then when you're coming back take another route إن شاء الله تعالى alternate change the routes number 6 التهنية greet one another that day greet each other some people they will say to you do I know you if you greet them and you hug them they only greet those who they know now this day it's a day that I don't need to know who you are we're here together we're gonna hug we're gonna we're gonna greet each other ودي ذلك عبداللعبن عمرين and many other صحابة they used to say تقبل الله من now ومن كأ they say to each other may Allah accept it from تقبل الله من me ومن كأ may Allah accept it from me and accept it from you so they would say this to each other so it's recommended to say to say this to the person and to greet the person number 8 sorry number 7 right number 7 I'm only gonna mention 7 number 7 is the person has to know the wisdom and the reason why this day was given to us what was the حكمة why Allah legislated this عيد it's for us to remember to remember Allah تبارك وتعالى that which He's given us سبحانه وتعالى and that which He's bestowed upon us it is not a day where we disobey Allah it's not a day where we listen to music and we watch films we go to the cinema and we disobey Allah تبارك وتعالى and we go against His commands no it's not it's a day where we are happy but we still remember that we are slaves of Allah and we stay within those boundaries anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me and Shayqan and Allah and His message are free from it سبحانك اللهم أحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أستوفيروك وأتوب إليك
