Assalāmu Alaykum Warahmatullāh Wabarakātuh
Honored brothers and sisters on this platform, You are welcome to this morning’s session of the Halqah
We ask Allāh to make it beneficial for us and for you, Amīn
Lastly, a question has been asked:
“Is it permissible to pay the Butcher from the Slaughter on the Day of Īd?”
ANSWER
Alhamdulillāh!
This is not permissible for the following reasons:
1. It is not permissible to sell anything from the Sacrifice. The sacrifice is meant for eating, giving out as Sadaqah and as gifts. The use of a part of it to pay the Butcher is a form of selling it. This reasoning was mentioned by Ibn Qudāmah Al-Maqdisī in Al-Mughnī
2. There is a clear Hadīth forbidding that. This was recorded by Imām Muslim in his Sahih from Alī bn Abī Tālib – radiyallāhu ‘anhu – that he said:
أمرني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن أقوم على بدنه، وأن أتصدق بلحمها وجلودها وأجلتها، وأن لا أعطي الجزار منها، وقال : نحن نعطيه من عندنا
“The Messenger of Allāh – salallāhu ‘alayhi wasallam – commanded me to take care of the sacrifice of a camel, to give its meat, skin and saddle in charity, and not to give anything of it to the butcher as a compensation. He said, “We will give him something from ourselves”
Likewise, Qādī ‘Abdulwahhāb Al-Mālikī mentioned in his book Al-Ma’ūnah ‘Alā Madh’habi Ahli Al-Madīnah from ‘Alī bn Abī Tālib – radiyallāhu ‘anhu – that he said:
نهاني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن أعطي الجازر من الأضحية شيئا
“The Messenger of Allāh – salallāhu ‘alayhi wasallam – forbade me from giving the butcher anything of the Sacrifice (as his pay).”
It is therefore wrong as you have seen from the above. Let nothing from the sacrifice be sold, it must all be eaten or given out in Sadaqah, and Allāh knows best
Bārakallāhu Fīkum
Jazakumullāhu Khayran
We shall end our Halqah with this this morning
We ask Allāh to.make it heavy on our scales on the Day of Qiyāmah
سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا أنت أستغفرك وأتوب إليك
سبحان ربك رب العزة عما يصفون وسلام على المرسلين والحمد لله رب العالمين
الله أكبر الله أكبر الله أكبر والعزة لله
