(Book 20, Hadith 191) #35954
Procedure for Sacrificing Animals to Allah

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the procedure of sacrificing a camel or cow to Allah and the places where it can be done.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar said, "Someone who vows to sacrifice a camel or a cow to Allah should garland it with two sandals about its neck, and brand it by causing blood to flow from its side. He should then sacrifice it either at the House or at Mina on the day of sacrifice. There are no other correct places apart from those. However, someone who vows to slaughter a camel or a cow simply as a sacrifice can sacrifice it wherever he wishes".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، قَالَ مَنْ نَذَرَ بَدَنَةً فَإِنَّهُ يُقَلِّدُهَا نَعْلَيْنِ وَيُشْعِرُهَا ثُمَّ يَنْحَرُهَا عِنْدَ الْبَيْتِ أَوْ بِمِنًى يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ لَيْسَ لَهَا مَحِلٌّ دُونَ ذَلِكَ وَمَنْ نَذَرَ جَزُورًا مِنَ الإِبِلِ أَوِ الْبَقَرِ فَلْيَنْحَرْهَا حَيْثُ شَاءَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the procedure of sacrificing a camel or cow to Allah as an act of worship. It is important for one who has vowed to sacrifice an animal in this way that they garland it with two sandals around its neck and brand it by causing blood to flow from its side. The only correct places for such a sacrifice are either at the House or at Mina on the day of sacrifice. However if someone has vowed simply as a sacrifice then they can do so wherever they wish. This hadith teaches us about fulfilling our vows and promises made with sincerity and dedication towards Allah's commands.
