✨ Virtues of Sacrificing a Camel

• Revives the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ and the tradition of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) عليه السلام. • Camels were among the most frequently sacrificed animals during the Prophet’s time. • Due to their large size, they provide more meat, which benefits more people, especially the needy.

🕋 Etiquette of Camel Slaughter (Nahr)

• It is Sunnah to slaughter camels while they are standing and their left leg is tied, as mentioned in the Qur’an: “And when they fall to the ground [after being slaughtered], eat from them...” [Al-Hajj: 36] • Camels are slaughtered by piercing the base of the neck (the “labba”), not by cutting the throat like sheep or goats. ________________________________________ Offering a camel as an Udhiyah is among the greatest acts of devotion for those who are able. It reflects obedience, generosity, and reverence for Allah’s commands. The reward is immense, especially when the meat brings joy to the poor and fulfills the objectives of Eid al-Adha.
