(Book 20, Hadith 155) #35918
Dedicating Animals and Compensation

SUMMARY: If someone dedicates an animal voluntarily and it is injured, they do not owe anything if they give everyone a free hand in eating it. However, if they eat some of it themselves or tell certain people to eat it, then they owe compensation.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Said ibn al- Musayyab said, "If someone dedicates an animal voluntarily and then it is injured and he kills it and gives everyone a free hand in eating it, he owes nothing. If, however, he eats some of it himself, or tells certain other people to eat it, then he owes compensation".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ سَاقَ بَدَنَةً تَطَوُّعًا فَعَطِبَتْ فَنَحَرَهَا ثُمَّ خَلَّى بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ النَّاسِ يَأْكُلُونَهَا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَىْءٌ وَإِنْ أَكَلَ مِنْهَا أَوْ أَمَرَ مَنْ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا غَرِمَهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the topic of dedicating animals as a sacrifice or vow and the consequences that come with this action. If someone dedicates an animal voluntarily and then the animal is injured before being sacrificed, then the person does not owe anything if they give everyone a free hand in eating it. However, if the person eats some of it themselves or tells certain other people to eat it, then he owes compensation for their actions. This hadith teaches us about responsibility when making vows or sacrifices as well as being mindful of our actions when dealing with animals that have been dedicated for such purposes.
