Who is Israel?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

There is a deception witnessed today by Jews and due to it many Muslims around the world fall into error in regards to character, belief, and the Fiqh of Dua. In this paper I will talk about those three errors from the Quran and Sunnah:

1: Who is Israel

2: The difference between Bani Israel and the Jews

3: Making Dua against Israel (Yaqub)

Who is Israel?

Allah says:

كُلُّ الطَّعَامِ كَانَ حِلاًّ لِّبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلاَّ مَا حَرَّمَ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ

93. All food was lawful to the Children of Israel, except what Israel made unlawful for himself ….”[ Quran 3: verse 93]

Tafsir :

” All food was lawful…”  This means the food was Halal

“ to the Children of Israel…” This verse was sent down when the Jews said to Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu alayhi wa salam): You claim you follow the religion of Ibrahim. You eat camel meat and drink its milk, Ibrahim didn’t do that. Thus this verse was revealed as a refutation to their claim and to show they are liars.

” except what Israel…” Israel is Yaqub (alayhi wa salam)

” made unlawful for himself ….”  This refers to camel meat and its milk. These foods were the most beloved to Yaqub, but when he fell ill he vowed to not eat camel’s meat or drink its milk if Allah cured him.[1]

The difference between Bani Israel and the Jews:

Shaykh Abdullah ibn Zayd Al-Mahmoud[2] said: The Jews separated from Bani Israel on account of their disbelief during the era of Bani Israel. This is similar to how Ibrahim separated from his father Azar. Disbelief severs all ties of association between the Muslims and the disbelievers.  This kind of separation is parallel to this one between Nuh and his son.

Therefore, the Jews share no part of the virtue of Bani Israel. Consequently, to refer to the Jews as Bani Israel lets them share their virtue and conceals the Jews’ wickedness. Moreover, by calling the Jews Bani Israel eliminates the distinction between the two. The Jews are those whom have earned Allah’s anger and are always in a despicable situation.

The Jews know that those who believed in Musa (Alayhi wa salam) are distinguished as Bani Israel. For that reason, they get nauseated when called Jews. [3]

Making Dua against Israel ( Yaqub)

One of the mistakes we find people saying is:

اللهم دمر إسرائيل

 ” Oh Allah destroy Israel “

اللهم عليك بدولة إسرائيل

” Oh Allah punish the Israeli State ”

Shaykh Ahmed ibn Ahmed Shamlan [4] said:

One of the mistakes  Imams make when making Dua against the Jews is they say Israel. Israel is Yaqub (alayhi wa salam). Yaqub is a prophet from Allah’s Prophets. When they say , ” Oh Allah destroy Israel “, it is dua against Prophet Yaqub. The correct phrase to say is,

اللهم دمر دولة اليهود

Oh Allah destroy the Jewish state.[5]

What is The Description of The Eid prayer

What is The Description of The Eid prayer - » Audio: Zakaah Impediments

The Eid prayer is o­ne where the imam attends and leads the people in praying two rak’ahs. ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The prayer of al-Fitr is two rak’ahs and the prayer of al-Adha is two rak’ahs, complete and not shortened, o­n the tongue of your Prophet, and the o­ne who fabricates lies is doomed.” Narrated by al-Nasaa’i, 1420 and Ibn Khuzaymah. Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa’i.

It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to come out o­n the day of al-Fitr and al-Adha to the prayer place, and the first thing he would do was to offer the prayer. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 956

In the first rak’ah he should say Takbeerat al-ihraam (say “Allaahu akbar” to start the prayer), after which he should say six or seven more takbeers, because of the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her), “The takbeer of al-Fitr and al-Adha is seven takbeers in the first rak’ah and five takbeers in the second, apart from the takbeer of rukoo’.” Narrated by Abu Dawood and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 639.

Then he should recite al-Faatihah, and recite Soorat Qaf in the first rak’ah. In the second rak’ah he should stand up saying takbeer, and when he has stood up completely he should say takbeer five times, and recite Soorat al-Faatihah then Soorat al-Qamr. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to recite these two soorahs during the two Eids. Or if he wishes he can recite Soorat al-A’la in the first rak’ah and Soorat al-Ghaashiyah in the second, because it was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to recite al-A’la and al-Ghaashiyah in the Eid prayer.

The imam should revive the Sunnah be reciting these soorahs so that the Muslims will become familiar with the Sunnah.

After the prayer, the imam should address the people. Part of the khutbah should be addressed specifically to the women, telling them of the things that they should do and warning them against the things that they should avoid, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to do.

See Fataawa Arkaan al-Islam by Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy o­n him), p. 398; Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 8/300-316).

The prayer comes before the khutbah

One of the rulings of Eid is that the prayer comes before the khutbah, because of the hadeeth of Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah who said, The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came out o­n the day of al-Fitr and started with the prayer before the khutbah. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 958; Muslim, 885.

Another indication that the khutbah comes after the prayer is the hadeeth of Abu Sa’eed (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to come out to the prayer place o­n the day of al-Fitr and al-Adha, and the first thing he would start with was the prayer, then he would go and stand facing the people, while the people were sitting in their rows, and he would preach to them and advise them and command them. If he wanted to send out a military expedition he would do so and if he wanted to tell the people to do something he would do so, then he would leave.

Abu Sa’eed said: The people continued to do that until I went out with Marwaan – who was the governor of Madeenah – o­n Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Fitr, and when we came to the prayer-place, there was a minbar that had been built by Katheer ibn al-Salt. When Marwaan wanted to ascend it before he prayed, I grabbed his garment and he pushed me away and climbed up and delivered the khutbah before theprayer. I said, “You have changed it by Allaah.”

He said, “O Abu Sa’eed, what you knew has gone.”

I said, “What I know, by Allaah, is better than what I do not know.”

He said, “The people will not sit and listen to us after the prayer, so we did it before the prayer.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 956.

Going to and Returning from the Musallaa

Going to and Returning from the Musallaa - » Audio: Zakaah Impediments

CHAPTER – SIX : Going to and Returning from the Musallaa

Jaabir bin ‘Abdullaah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “When it was the day of ‘Eid the Prophet (SAW) used to alter his route (of returning).”30
Imaam Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawzeeyah said: “The Prophet (SAW) used to change his route on the days of ‘Eid, such that he went by one route and returned by another. It is said (he did this) to give salaam upon the people of both routes. Or so that both groups get some of his blessings. Or so that anybody who has a need can take care of it. Or to make manifest the rituals of Islaam…. – and this is the most correct opinion – for all of these reasons and for other reasons of wisdom which his (SAW) actions contain.”31
Imaam an-Nawaawee (may Allaah have mercy on him) after quoting the previous sayings said: “Even if the reason is not known, it is still definitely preferred to make it a ruling guideline to be followed and Allaah knows best.”32
NOTE: First: Imam al-Baghawee said in Sharh-us-Sunnah (4/302-303): “It is preferred that the people leave for the, musalla after praying the dawn prayer (Fajr) so that they can take their places and make takbeer. While the Imaam proceeds when it is time for the prayer”
Second: Tirmidhee (530), Ibn Maajah (161) transmit from ‘Alee ibn Abee Taalib that he said: “From the sunnah is to proceed to the ‘Eid by foot” 33

CHAPTER – EIGHT : When to eat during the ‘Eids

Reported from Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: “The Messenger of Allaah would not set out in the morning of ‘Eid ul-Fitr until he had eaten some dates.” 42

Imaam al-Muhallab said: “The wisdom behind eating before the ‘Eid prayer is so that no per son with doubt in his mind thinks that the fasting remains until after the prayer. So it is as if he (SAW) wanted to stop this from occurring” 43

Buraidah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Prophet (SAW) would not leave on the morning of ‘Eid-ul-Fitr until he had eaten and on the day of ‘Adhaa he would not eat until he had returned from the prayer and he would eat from his sacrifice.” 44

The renowned scholar Ibn al-Qayyim said: “…as for ‘Eid-ul- ‘Adhaa, then he (SAW) would not eat until he returned from the musallaa and he would eat from his sacrifice.” 45

The renowned scholar as-Shawkaanee 46 said: “The wisdom behind delaying eating on the day of ‘Adhaa, is because it is a day in which slaughtering and eating from the sacrifice has been legislated. Therefore it has been prescribed that the eating be from the sacrifice. This view was held by Ibn Qudaamah.” 47

Zain ibn Munayyir 48 said: “Eating by the Prophet (SAW) in both ‘Eids occurred at the time for which it has been legislated to give the sadaqa connected to that ‘Eid. Giving sadaqat-ul-fitr before going to the musallaa and giving sadaqat-ul-’Adhaa after slaughtering the sacrifice.”

Clarifying the Rulings of Sadaqat’ul Fitr: Time of Giving

Posted on 5 September 2010

 

 

 

 

 

 

Star This

By the Noble Shaykh Saleh ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan
Translated by AbuAbdulMalik 

The Time of Giving Sadaqat’ul Fitr

The time for giving Sadaqat’ul Fitr begins from the setting of the sun on the night of Eid (i.e., when the new moon is sighted on the night before), and it continues until the Eid Salaah (on the next day), and it is permissible to distribute it one or two days before Eid. The evidence for this is the hadeeth collected in Sahah al-Bukharee on the authority of Ibn Umar (radhi-yAllâhu ‘anhu) that the Companions used to give Sadaqat’ul Fitr one or two days before the Feast (meaning the Eid Prayer). The delaying of giving Sadaqat’ul Fitr until before the Salaah on the morning of Eid is better, and if one does not fulfill this obligation before the Eid Salaah without a valid excuse, then he has sinned. It then becomes an obligation upon him to fulfill giving Sadaqat’ul Fitr throughout the rest of the day. And if he does not fulfill the obligation of Sadaqat’ul Fitr on the day of Eid, then he must make up for it after the day of Eid. This is based on the hadeeth collected by Abu Dawood and Ibn Majah on the authority of ibn Abbaas that the Messenger of Allah (sal-Allâhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“If anyone pays it (Sadaqat’ul Fitr) before the feast prayer, it will be accepted as zakaah, and if anyone pays it after the prayer, it will be considered a charity like other charities.”

Therefore this clearly means that Sadaqat’ul Fitr must be given in its correct time in order to receive its reward.

The times for giving Sadaqat’ul Fitr can be separated into four: 

1. Permissible: this means one or two days before Eid;
2. The best time: this is between the setting of the sun on the night of Eid until before the Salaah;
3. A time that will suffice, but with a sin: this is the time after the Salaah until the end of the day;
4. The expiation time: this time is after the day of Eid.

The Difference between Eid Al-Adha and Eid Al-Fitr.

The Difference between Eid Al-Adha and Eid Al-Fitr.

Nov 23, '09 4:51 AM for everyone

The Difference between Eid Al-Adha and Eid Al-Fitr

1.      Question: What do you say about the impermissibility to fast during the white days, 13^th, 14^th and 15^th of the month?

2.       Question: What do you say about  three consecutive days wherein the first one it’s a must to fast, the second one it’s haraam to fast, and the third day it’s permissible?

1.      Answer: These are the days of Tashreeq. Which are the 11^th, 12^th, and 13^th of Dhul Hijjah.The 13^this the first day of the white days. It is recommended to fast the white days during every month, except during Dhul Hijjah.

2    Answer: The first day is the 29^th or the 30^th of Ramadhan. The second day is   Eidul Fitr and the third day is the second day of Sha’baan  

·         It is suitable to eat an odd number of dates before going to pray at Eidul Fitr. This way its distinguished between the previous days where it was a must to fast and the day where it’s a must to break fast.

·         Eid Al-Adha it’s not suitable to eat until after the prayer. The person should eat from his sacrifice.

·         The khutbah during Eidul Fitr should be about the rulings for Sadaqah Fitr.

·         The khutbah during Eidul Adha should be about the rulings for slaughtering.

·         It’s sunnah to delay the prayer for Eidul Fitr

·         It’s sunnah to hold the prayer for Eidul Adha early.

·         The Takbirs for Eidul Adha start at Eidul Adha and end on the last day for Tashreeq.

·         The Takbirs for Eidul Fitr start in the morning of the Eid and end at the end of the day.

·         There isn’t any set wording for the takbirs authentically related on the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)and there isn’t any fixed time for them to be said. Some people say the takbirs after the five prayers during Tashreeq. There isn’t any evidence for this. [ Ahkamul Eid by Shaykh Muqbil (may Allah have mercy on him) ]

Shaykh Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said ,: The wisdom in delaying Eidul Fitr prayeris it gives the people more time to disperse their sadaqahtul fitr. Therefore the imam can delay it giving people more time to distribute their charity.On Eidul Adha there is no fitr where the poor people can benefit from . The poor and needy can benefit from the sacrificed meat. Hence the person slaughtering should hasten to slaughter in order for the needy to eat. [Explanation for Saheeh Al-Bukhari vol 3 page 26)

SUNAN AL-’EID

asalamualikum.

SUNAN AL-’EID

Sep 9, '10 11:13 AM for everyone

Source: Taken from “Ad-Dawah illallaah Magazine”

It is true to say that although much information has reached us about Fasting and Ramadaan – authentic or otherwise, we know very little about the etiquettes of ‘Eid: what we are recommended to do in this day and what is obligatory for us to do. Below is a brief list of some of the prescribed practices of ‘Eid.
SUNAN AL-’EID
1. It is established from the Companion Ibn ‘Umar, that he used to bath on the morning of ‘Eid. The tabi’ee, Sa’eed ibn al Musayyib said: “The sunnah of the fitr is three: walking to the Prayer ground, eating before going out and taking a bath.” [Saheeh - Al Firyaabee & al-Irwaa (2/104)]
2. It is known that the companion Ibn ‘Umar would also dressed in his best clothes for the two ‘Eids as reported by Ibn Hajr in his Fathul-Baaree (2/439).
3. It is compulsory on all adult sane Muslims to pray the ‘Eid prayer. The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam and his Companions never ceased doing it and he sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam commanded everyone including women, children and the elderly to attend. Even menstruating women should go to the place of congregation so that they may partake in the blessings .[Bukharee and Muslim]
4. It is Sunnah to eat dates before we leave for Al-’Eid prayer to show openly that we are not fasting on this day. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, used not to leave for Al-Eid [al- Fitr] prayer except after eating some dates. [Reported by Anas bin Maalik & collected in Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (Eng. trans. vol.2 p.40 no.73) & Ahmad.]
5. It is Sunnah to say takbeer loudly when leaving our homes to go to ‘Eid prayer and repeat these till the prayer starts. [Silsilatal- Ahaadeeth-Saheehah (no 171).]
6. It is preferable to pray the ‘Eid prayer on open ground and not at the masjid if possible. [Bukharee and Muslim]
7. Neither Adhaan nor Iqaamah are said for ‘Eid prayer. [Reported by Ibn 'Abbaas and Jaabir ibn 'Abdullah & collected in Saheeh al- Bukhaaree (Eng. trans. vol.2 p.40)]
8. It is Sunnah to say the extra takbeers i.e. say ‘Allaahu Akbar’ seven times in the first rak’ah and five times in the second. [Aboo Daawood, Ahmad & others.] It is preferable to only raise the hands to the shoulders after the first takbeer and then fold them upon the chest. However, it is authentically reported from Ibn ‘Umar radhiAllaahu ‘anhu that he would raise his hands with every takbeer.
9. It is Sunnah to take different routes to and from the prayer ground, preferably walking if possible. Jaabir reported that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam used to come back from the ‘Eid prayer on a path other than the one used in going to it. [Bukharee]
WHAT TO SAY ON THE DAY OF ‘Eid
The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam would say takbeer loudly when travelling to go to the ‘Eid prayer. Ahadeeth have not reached us telling us exactly what he used to say, but Ibn Abee Shayhah narrated that Ibn Mas’ood, radhiAllaahu ‘anhu used to say the following:
Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar, Laa eelaahaa ilallaah
Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar, wa lillaahil-hamd
Allaah is Great, Allaah is Great, there is none worthy of worship except He.
Allaah is Great, Allaah is Great, and to Him belongs all Praise.
The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, who never spoke of his own desire, said:
“Three supplications are answered: the supplication of the fasting person, the supplication of the one who is oppressed and the supplication of the traveller” . [Saheeh - Reported by al-'Uqailee in ad -Du'afaa.].
Therefore, in this month of Ramadaan, there is for you a supplication which will be answered. So seize this opportunity and call profusely upon Allaah during this month, and in particular at the time of breaking the fast (iftar), since the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said: “Indeed there is for the fasting person when he breaks his fast, a supplication which is not rejected.” [Reported in Ibn Maajah & others. Declared saheeh by al-Boosairee.]
And be sure in your heart that your du’aa will be answered and know that Allaah does not respond to a heedless and inattentive heart. Call upon Him with supplications for anything good and hopefully you will attain the good of this life and the Hereafter.

Attending Eid Khutbah is NOT WAJIB - Obligatory

Attending Eid Khutbah is NOT WAJIB - Obligatory

Sep 10, '10 4:54 PM for everyone

CHAPTER - SIXTEEN : The Sermon and Choosing To Attend It

Aboo Sa'eed al-Khudree (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: "The Prophet (SAW) used to proceed to the musallaa on the day of 'Eidul-Fitr and 'Adhaa and the first thing that he would begin with was the prayer. After the prayer he would move and stand in front of the people - the people being seated in their rows - and he would admonish, advise and command them ..."98

The 'Eid sermon is just like all other sermons - opened by praising and exalting Allaah, the Mighty and Sublime.

Ibn al-Qayyim said: "He (SAW) used to begin all his sermons by praising Allaah. However not a single hadeeth has been preserved from him saying that he used to begin the 'Eid sermons with takbeer. Rather Ibn Majah relates in his book as-Sunan99 upon the authority of S'ad al-Quradh the Prophet's mu'adhin* - that he (SAW) used to make the takbeer fre quently in between the sermons, and he (SAW), also made the takbeer in the 'Eid sermons. However this does not indicate that he (SAW) used to begin the 'Eid sermon with it ..."100

It has not been authentically reported in the sunnah that the sermon of 'Eid is two sermons divided by sitting down between them!

Since, that which is found regarding this is a very weak hadeeth transmitted by al-Bazzar in his Musnad [No.53 from the Musnad of Sa'd] from his teacher, Abdullaah Ibn Shabeeb with his chain of narration of Sa'd (may Allaah be pleased with him). That the Prophet used to give two sermons and seperate them by sitting down (between them).

Al-Bukhaaree said about Abdullaah ibn Shabeeb, "He is munkar-ul-hadeeth (makes a hadeeth Munkar)"

Thus the 'Eid sermon remains on the original basis, which is as one sermon.

Attending the 'Eid sermon is not obligatory, unlike the 'Eid prayer, which is obligatory. This is due to what is established from 'Abdullaah ibn Saa'ib, who said: "I witnessed 'Eid with the Prophet (SAW) and when he finished praying he (SAW) said: 'Verily we shall give a sermon, so whoever wishes to stay for the sermon then let him stay and whoever wishes to depart then let him depart'"101

Ibn al-Qayyim102 (may Allaah have mercy upon him), said: "He (SAW) gave permission for those who attended the 'Eidprayer to stay for the sermon or to leave.''103

CHAPTER - FIFTEEN : The Sermon After The Prayer

The Sunnah with respect to the 'Eid sermon is that it should be after the prayer. Al-Bukhaaree has titled a chapter in his book, Saheeh, with: "Chapter: The sermon after the 'Eid prayer.''91

Ibn 'Abbaas said: "I witnessed 'Eid with Allaah's Messenger (SAW), Aboo Bakr, 'Umar and 'Uthmaan (may Allaah be pleased with them all) and they all used to pray before the sermon."92

Ibn 'Umar reported: "That the Prophet (SAW), Aboo Bakr and 'Umar used to pray the 'Eid prayer before the sermon."93

Wali-ullaah ad-Dihlawee, when explaining the previous chapter headings of al-Bukhaaree said: 94 "i.e. this is the Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW) and that which was acted upon by the rightly guided Khulafaa. The changes that occurred - I mean bringing the sermon before the prayer, which is based on analogous deductions from the Friday prayer - is an innovation that emanated from Marwaan."95

Imaam at-Tirmidhee96 said: "The people of knowledge, from the Prophet's Companions and others, acted upon this, that the 'Eid prayer precedes sermon. It is said that the first person to give the sermon before the prayer was Marwaan bin Hakam."97

Important issues for 'Eid Ul Adha - TriniMuslims.com (Trinidad and Tobago)

:bism2:

1. Meaning of Udheeyah:

It is every sacrifice where blood is spilt for the sake of Allah in a specific sime from the Baheemah Al An'aam (Camels, Cows, Goats and Sheep). As for Al Hady' it is in Makkah.

2. Lawfullness of Udheeyah:

It is lawful according to the Qur'an and Sunnah and Ijmaa (consensus) and this is from the statement of Allah: "And pray to your Lord and sacrifice." 

3. Its virtue:

i. The one who is sacrificing is coming closer to Allah.
ii. It is from the outward manifestations of Islam.
iii. It is from the greatest of actions on the day of 'Eid Ul 'Adha

4. Ruling of Udheeyah:

There is difference of opinion of the 'Ulama concerning it. However, the strongest opinion is that it is Sunnah. Because the Prophet :saw: said: "If the ten days (of Thul Hijjah) comes and one of you wishes to sacrice then let him not touch anything from his hair or his skin." 
Narrated by Muslim

Therefore, it does not require a Nisaab (specific amount of money) like Zakaat.

5. Conditions of the sacrificial animal:

i. It should be from camels, goats, sheep or cows.

Note: Ages of the animals:

• Camels should be at least 5 years of age
• The cows should be at least two years of age
• The sheep and the goats should be one year of age

And the exception to this is the sheep that is six months old. And the scholars have agreed upon this.

ii. It should be free from defects like blindness, sickness, being crippled and exteme weakness. However, if part of the horn of an animal has come off then this is not from the defects that warrants it being excluded from the animals to sacrifice.

6. The rulings pertaining to the one who sacrifices:

i. The intention

ii. The statement Bismiallah or Bismillah Allahu Akbar or Allahumma Minka Wa Laka is Waajib. However, if it is forgotten then the sacrifice is correct. If it is left off intentionally then the sacrifice is not correct.

However, if a person remember when doing the actual sacrifice he must say it. And if he forgot completely the sacrifice is correct as mentioned.

iii. Time of sacrifice is after the 'Eid prayer otherwise it is considered meat only according to a Hadeeth narrated in Bukhari and Muslim where the Prophet :saw: said: "And whoever sacrificed before the prayer then let him replace it with another."

Note: This is why sending money to Pakistan and India for sacrifice is incorrect since we are praying the 'Eid prayer at least 10 hours after they pray. So how are we to know whether or not our animal has been sacrificed before we have prayed??

7. Conditions and description of the sacrifice.

The conditions of sacrifice are four:

i. That the person should be sane and have the ability to sacrifice. And in the case of the Udheeyah he should be a Muslim since it is a sacrifice concerning worship and not a sacrifice for simply eating.

ii. To say the name of Allah over it

iii. That what is used should be the likes of knives and cutalasses etc. It should not be bones or teeth.

iv. That what is sacrificed must be alive before it is sacrificed.

The Pillar of sacrifice

i. That the throat and the esophogus should be cut.

And it is better to cut the two jugular veins the esophogus and the throat.

Description of sacrifice: The cows, goats and sheep should be placed on their right side facing the Qiblah and should be sacrificed with a sharp knife.

As for the camel they are sacrificed in an upright position.

8. How the animals are shared:

i. Seven shares from the cow and the camel and one from the goats and sheep. 

Note: If there are shares for an animal like in the case of the cow, one cannot intend to take a share for 'Aqeeqah and a share for 'Eid Ul Adha. Once the animal is intended to be sacrificed for the festival of 'Eid it remains upon such an intention.

9. The sacrifice of one member of the household is enough for the rest. Abu Ayyub Al Ansaari said: "A man used to sacrifce a single sheep (during the Prophet's time) for himself and his family and they ate from it and fed others with it." Narrated by Tirmidhi

10. One can share the animal however he wishes. However, it is highly recommended that he gives to the poor as Allah said: "... and eat from it and feed the poor." 

11. It is Haraam to sell any part of the animal.

12. One cannot give the butcher his price in Udheeyah meat in replacement for his services.

13. Sacrificing for the dead is lawful as Shaikh Ul Islam Ibn Taymeeyah said: "It is lawful to do the sacrifice for the dead as it is lawful to do Hajj for him and to give Sadaqah (charity) for him."


Differences between Eid Ul Fitr and Eid Ul Adha

1. On Eid Ul Adhaa the Takbeeraat are said from the day of Arafah until the final day of the days of Tashreeq (3 days after the 'Eid). And this is Mustahab at every time not only after the 5 prayers.

2. The Prophet did not go to the place of prayer on the day of Fitr unless he ate something first. As for Eid Ul Adha he did not eat anything until he prayed.

3. The 'Eid Salaat for 'Eid Ul 'Adha should be earlier to give those who are sacrificing a chance to leave early. As for the day of Fitr it is better to delay it.


And Allah knows best.

How to do the Eid Salah..

asalamualikum.. Both Eid salah is done in the same manner...

On the day of ('Eed) al-Fitr and al-Adh.haa, the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) would come out to the musallaa (place just outside of town), and the first thing with which he would begin with would be the ('Eed) prayer.

[Transmitted by al-Bukhaaree] 

2) The Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said:

((The takbeer (the saying of Allaahu Akbar) for (the 'Eed) al-Fitr (prayer) is (to be done) seven times at (the beginning of) the first (rak'ah) and five times at (the beginning of) the second (rak'ah) and the (standard) recitation (of the prayer) is to be done for each (rak'ah) after (the takbeer).)),

[Hasan, transmitted by Abu Daawood] 

3) The Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) ordered us to make sure the women come out (of their homes) to attend the ('Eed) al-Fitr and al-Adh.haa (prayers), they being:

a) the captives;

b) those upon their menses;

c) the young unmarried virgins. 

As for those upon their menses, then they are to abstain from the prayer itself and suffice with benefiting from listening to the khutbah (sermon). I said O Messenger of Allaah, (and what if) one of us does not have a jilbaab (loose fitting outer garment worn over clothing)? He said:

((Then her sister is to provide her with a jilbaab)),

[It's authenticity is agreed upon by al-Bukhaaree and Muslim]
