🧕 Ruling on Udhiyah

• Udhiyah is a highly recommended Sunnah for those who are financially able. • The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever has the means and does not offer a sacrifice, let him not come near our prayer place.” [Ibn Majah]

✨ Wisdom Behind Udhiyah

1. Reviving the Sunnah of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), who was willing to sacrifice his son until Allah replaced him with a ram. 2. Honoring Allah’s rituals, as in the verse: “Whoever honors the symbols of Allah – indeed, it is from the piety of the hearts.” [Al-Hajj: 32] 3. Act of devotion and submission to Allah’s commands. 4. Expressing gratitude for Allah’s blessings. 5. Supporting the poor and spreading joy in the community.

🐄 Conditions for a Valid Udhiyah

• Must be from livestock (camel, cow, or sheep). • Must reach the prescribed age. • Must be free from major defects. • Must be slaughtered in the proper time frame. • Must be done with the intention of sacrifice.

❤️ Etiquettes and Sunnahs During Slaughter

• Mention Allah’s name and say: “Bismillah, Allahu Akbar”. • Face the Qiblah. • Slaughter it yourself if possible. • Use a sharp knife to minimize suffering. • Distribute a portion of the meat to the needy. ________________________________________ Udhiyah is a noble act of worship and one of the clear signs of Islam.
