Sunan an-Nasai 4229 (Book 41, Hadith 8) #18762
Sacrificing Animals for Charity

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that sacrificing animals should be done in any month, and the meat should be given to the poor. He also said that for every flock of grazing animals, the firstborn should be fed until it is old enough to carry loads, then sacrificed and its meat given in charity.

It was narrated that Nubaishah said: "A man called out while he was in Mina and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we used to sacrifice the 'Atirah during the Jahiliyyah in Rajab; what do you command us to do?' He said: 'Sacrifice during whatever month it is, do good for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and feed (the poor)'. They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we used to sacrifice the Fara' during the Jahiliyyah; what do you command us to do?' He said: 'For every flock of grazing animals, feed the firstborn as you feed the rest of you flock until it reaches an age where it could be used carry loads, then sacrifice it, and give its meat in charity"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ - عَنْ خَالِدٍ، وَرُبَّمَا، قَالَ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ، وَرُبَّمَا، ذَكَرَ أَبَا قِلاَبَةَ عَنْ نُبَيْشَةَ، قَالَ نَادَى رَجُلٌ وَهُوَ بِمِنًى فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَعْتِرُ عَتِيرَةً فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فِي رَجَبٍ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ اذْبَحُوا فِي أَىِّ شَهْرٍ مَا كَانَ وَبَرُّوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَأَطْعِمُوا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ إِنَّا كُنَّا نُفْرِعُ فَرَعًا فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا قَالَ ‏"‏ فِي كُلِّ سَائِمَةٍ فَرَعٌ تَغْذُوهُ مَاشِيَتُكَ حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَحْمَلَ ذَبَحْتَهُ وَتَصَدَّقْتَ بِلَحْمِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about sacrificing animals for charity. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that sacrificing animals should be done in any month, and the meat should be given to the poor. He also said that for every flock of grazing animals, such as sheep or goats, the firstborn should be fed until it is old enough to carry loads, then sacrificed and its meat given in charity. This hadith emphasizes how important it is to give back to those who are less fortunate than us by donating our resources such as food or money. It also encourages us to take care of all living creatures by feeding them properly before they are sacrificed so they can live a full life before their death. By doing this we can show our gratitude towards Allah's blessings on us and help those who are less fortunate than us at the same time.
