EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Umm Bilal bint Hilal from her father states that it is permissible to offer a sacrifice among sheep. This means that it is allowed in Islam to slaughter an animal, usually a sheep, as an offering for Allah. This act of sacrificing animals has been practiced since the time of Prophet Ibrahim and continues today as part of Islamic tradition. Sacrificing animals serves as a reminder for Muslims to be thankful for the blessings they have received from Allah and also serves as an act of worship towards Him. It also teaches us about the importance of charity and giving back to those who are less fortunate than us.

The hadith also teaches us about being mindful when sacrificing animals, such as making sure that they are healthy and well taken care off before being slaughtered in order to ensure that their suffering is minimized during this process. Furthermore, it reminds us not only about our responsibility towards Allah but also our responsibility towards other living creatures on this earth which we should treat with kindness and respect at all times.
