An uncle of mine called Abu Burda, slaughtered his sacrifice before the ‘Id prayer. So Allah’s
Apostle said to him, “Your (slaughtered) sheep was just mutton (not a sacrifice).” Abu Burda said, “O
Allah’s Apostle! I have got a domestic kid.” The Prophet said, “Slaughter it (as a sacrifice) but it will
not be permissible for anybody other than you” The Prophet added, “Whoever slaughtered his sacri –
fice before the (‘Id) prayer, he only slaughtered for himself, and whoever slaughtered it after the
prayer, he offered his sacrifice properly and followed the tradition of the Muslims.”

fer the (‘Id) prayer and then return to slaughter the sacrifice. Whoever does so, he acted according to
our Sunna (tradition), and whoever slaughtered (the sacrifice) before the prayer, what he offered
was just meat he presented to his family, and that will not be considered as Nusak (sacrifice).” (On
hearing that) Abu Burda bin Niyar got up, for he had slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer, and
said, “I have got a six month old ram.” The Prophet said, ‘Slaughter it (as a sacrifice) but it will not be
sufficient for any-one else (as a sacrifice after you). Al-Bara’ added: The Prophet said, “Whoever
slaughtered (the sacrifice) after the prayer, he slaughtered it at the right time and followed the tradi –
tion of the Muslims.”

she was weeping (because she was afraid that she would not be able to perform the Hajj). The

matter Allah has decreed for all the daughters of Adam, so perform all the ceremonies of Hajj like the
others, but do not perform the Tawaf around the Ka’ba.” ‘Aisha added: When we were at Mina, beef
