Sacrifice According to Islam


Sacrifice is part of Islamic law that has existed since humans existed. When the sons of the prophet Adam was ordered to sacrifice. Then Allah accept the sacrifice accompanied by piety and good and reject the bad Sacrifice. Allah says:
واتل عليهم نبأ ابني ءادم بالحق إذ قربا قربانا فتقبل من أحدهما ولم يتقبل من الآخر قال لأقتلنك قال إنما يتقبل الله من المتقين
"Tell them the story of the two sons of Adam (Abel and Cain) according to the truth, when they offered sacrifice, then received from one of the two (Habil) and not accepted from the other (Cain). He said (Cain): "I must kill you!" Said the former, "Allah only accepts (the victim) of those who fear Him" ​​(Surah Al-Maaidah 27).
Another Sacrifice recounted in the Qur'an is the Sacrifice of Abraham family, as Allah commanded him to sacrifice his son, Ismail AS. As mentioned in the letter-Shaaffaat 102: "Then, when the child reached (the age of serious) work together him, he said:" O my son verily I saw in a dream that I sacrifice. So think about what you think! "He replied:" O my father, do what ye are commanded thee, God willing, you will find me among those who are patient ". Then sacrifice set by Prophet Muhammad as part of the Islamic Sharia, symbols and worship to God as gratitude for the blessings of life.
Disyariatkannya Sacrifice
Disyariatkannya sacrifice as a symbol of the sacrifice of the servant to Allah SWT, the form of obedience to Him and gratitude for the blessings of life given by God Almighty to His servants. Relations gratitude for the blessings of life with a mean sacrificing the animal can be seen from two sides.
First, that the slaughter of animals is a means of extending relationships to relatives, neighbors, guests and their fellow Muslims. All of it is a phenomenon of joy and gratitude for the blessings of Allah to mankind, and it is this form which favors disclosure recommended in Islam:
"And for the favors of your Lord ye mention (with gratitude)" (Surah Ad-Dhuhaa 11).
Second, as a form of justification for what comes from Allah SWT. God created animals that are destined for human blessings, and God allows humans to slaughter animals as food for them. Even this slaughter is a form of approach to Allah SWT.
Sacrifice is the most beloved worship Allah on the Day of Nahr, as mentioned in the history of al-Tirmidhi hadith of 'Aisha RA. that the Prophet said:
"It is not the son of Adam on the Day of Nahr deed most loved by Allah than shedding the blood (sacrifice). Sacrifice it will come on the Day of Resurrection with horns, fur and nails. And the blood will actually get somewhere fast before blood was dripping to the ground. Then amend your soul to sacrifice ".
Definition of Sacrifice
Sacrifice we understand the word, derived from the Arabic, it means the approach itself, while the intention is to slaughter animals as a means of approach to God. The meaning of the term is known in Islam as Udhiyah. Udhiyah the language contains two terms, the goats were slaughtered Dhuha time and so on, and goats were slaughtered on the day of 'Eid al-Adha. The meaning of the term, namely cattle were slaughtered on the day-to-day with the intention to approach Nahr (taqarruban) to God with certain conditions (Sharh Minhaj).
Law of Sacrifice
Law of Sacrifice by jumhur moderate cleric is sunnah muaqqadah Abu Hanifa sect is mandatory. Allah says:
فصل لربك وانحر 2
"So establish prayer as your Lord and sacrifice" (Surah Al-Kautsaar: 2).
Rasulullah SAW said:
من كان له سعة ولم يضح فلا يقربن مصلانا
"Who has the spaciousness and not sacrifice, then we do not go near the place of prayer" (Ahmad, Ibn Majah and Al-Hakim).
In another hadith: "If you look at the beginning of the month of Dhul-Hijjah, and one of you want to sacrifice, then resist the hair and nails (do not cut)" (Muslim).
For a Muslim or a Muslim family and had the ease, he was recommended for the sacrifice. If not, in the opinion of Abu Haneefah, he sinned. And in the opinion of scholars jumhur he did not get the reward of virtue sunnah.
Perhaps animals were sacrificed
The animals may be used for sacrifice are domestic animals (Al-An'am), camels, cows and goats, male or female. While animals besides birds, chickens, etc. should not be used as animal sacrifice. Allah says:
"And for every nation have We syariatkan slaughter (sacrifice), that they may mention the name of Allah the animals that have been direzkikan God to them" (Surat al-Hajj 34).
Goats for one person, may also for the family. Because the Prophet slaughtered two goats, one for him and his family and one for him and his people. While camels and cows can be used for seven people, either in the family or not, according to the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad:
عن جابر بن عبد الله قال: نحرنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بالحديبية البدنة عن سبعة والبقرة عن سبعة
From Jabir bin Abdullah, said: "We sacrificed with the Prophet Muhammad in Hudaibiyah, camels and cows to seven for seven people" (Muslim).
Animals will be sacrificed should the good, old enough and should not be disabled. Rasulullah SAW said:
"Four kinds of animals used unauthorized Sacrifice: 1. Disability eyes, 2. pain, 3. limping and 4. skinny, not fat anymore "(Bukhari and Muslim).
Another Hadith:
"Do not slaughter animals for sacrifice unless musinnah (has been for a tooth, kupak). If difficulty is found, then it may jadz'ah (1 year old) of the sheep. "(Muslim).
Musinnah is if the 5-year-old camel, cow two years old and 1 year old goat, sheep from 6 months to 1 year. Allowed to sacrifice the sacrificial animals infertile, even the Prophet sacrificed two sheep were barren. And usually the meat taste better and fatter.
Sacrifice Meat Distribution
People who sacrifice should eat some meat Sacrifice, as Allah SWT says:
"And We shall give to you the camels ar Shiite party of Allah, you get a lot of merit to it, then call it by you when you kill God's name in an established (and has been committed). Then when it is collapsed (dead), then eat sebahagiannya and give people who are willing to eat what is available to him (which is not to beg) and the person asking. Thus We have subjected the camels to you, hopefully you are thankful "(Surat al-Hajj 36).
Hadeeth of the Prophet Muhammad:
"If any of you sacrifice, then eat some of sacrifices" (Ahmad).
Even in terms of the division disunnahkan divided by three. One-third to eat her and her family, a third to neighbors and friends, the other third to the poor and those who ask for it. Stated in the hadeeth of Ibn 'Abbaas explained Sacrifice Rasulullah SAW said:
"A third to feed his family, a third to the poor neighbors and a third for the wherewithal to beg" (Reported by Abu Musa Al-Asfahani).
But those who sacrificed for vow, then according to the Hanafi and Shafi'i schools, people should not eat meat at all and should not be Kurban use.
Time slaughter Sacrifice
The time of slaughtering the ultimate sacrifice is the day of Nahr, the Kingdom 'Eid al-Adha on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah after praying' Eid al-Adha for the implementation. As for those who are not praying 'Eid al-Adha as pilgrims to do after the sun rises on the day of Nahr. The slaughter by Jumhur scholars, namely Hanafi, Maliki and Hanbali slaughter was found three days, which is the feast day of Nahr and two Tasyrik, which ended with the sinking sun. This argument takes the ground that Umar RA, RA Ali, Abu Hurairah RA, RA Anas, Ibn Abbas and Ibn Umar RA reported that the days of slaughter is three days. And determination of the time they do not have the results of their own ijtihad but they heard from the Prophet Muhammad (Mughni Ibn Qudama 11/114).
Meanwhile, Shafi and Hanbali schools also participated in part by Ibn Taymiyyah found that slaughter is 4 days, Hari Raya 'Eid al-Adha and 3 Day Tasyrik. The end of the day with a marked Tasyrik sunset. This opinion follows the reason the hadith, the Prophet mentioned:
"All day Tasyrik is slaughter" (Reported by Ahmad and Ibn Hibban). Said Al-Haitsami: "This hadith narrators of the strong". Given this hadeeth, the strong opinions are those of Shafi.
Procedures for the slaughter of Sacrifice
Sacrifice as the definition above is slaughtering animals Sacrifice, so that according to scholars jumhur not be illegal or simply sacrifice by giving his money to the poor just for the animal sacrifice, no sacrifice of animal slaughter. Since the purpose of sacrifice is the sacrifice of animal slaughter and then the meat distributed to the poor. And according to the school jumhur cleric Imam Malik, Ahmad and others, that of sacrifice by slaughtering sheep is much more important than almsgiving its value. And if the sacrifice is allowed to pay the price will have an impact on the loss of worship which is prescribed Islamic Sacrifice. As if someone sacrifice, while animal sacrifice and penyembelihannya done elsewhere, then it is a technical problem allowed. And for a sacrifice, if not slaughter itself precedence to witness the slaughter, as well as a history of the hadeeth of Ibn 'Abbas RA:
"Be there when you slaughter the sacrifice, because God will forgive you of blood coming from the beginning."
When a Muslim is about to slaughter the animal sacrifice, read: "Allaah Bismillahi Akbar, Allah is the Sacrifice of the Fulan (call name), as was done by the Prophet Muhammad:
"Bismillahi Allaah Akbar, God is sacrifice from me and the people who have sacrificed of my people" (Reported by Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi).
Readings may be added as the Prophet Muhammad ordered the U.S. Fatimah:
"O Fatimah, get up and watch the slaughtering of sacrifice, for verily Allah forgives all sins committed from the beginning trickle of blood sacrifice, and say:" Verily, my prayers, worship (sacrifice) my life and my death lillahi rabbil 'alamiin, no partner- His. And therefore I am commanded and I am among those earliest surrender "(Reported by Al-Hakim and Al-Bayhaqi)
Sacrifice Venture Way
Sacrifice by way of joint venture, stated in the hadeeth of Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari:
"Someone in the Prophet Muhammad with a goat sacrifice to himself and his family. They all eat, so the proud man and did what he does "(Reported by Ibn Majah and At-Tirmidhi).
Says Ibn Qoyyim in Zaadul Ma'ad:
"Among the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad that may sacrifice a goat for a family and even though their numbers are many, as the hadeeth Atha bin Yasar from Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. Mentioned in the hadith of the Prophet SAW.
عن أبي الأسود السلمي, عن أبيه, عن جده قال: كنت سابع سبعة مع رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - في سفره, فأدركنا الأضحى. فأمرنا رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -, فجمع كل رجل منا درهما, فاشترينا أضحية بسبعة دراهم. وقلنا: يا رسول الله, لقد غلينا بها. فقال: (إن أفضل الضحايا أغلاها, وأسمنها) قال: ثم أمرنا رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -, فأخذ رجل برجل, ورجل برجل, ورجل بيد, ورجل بيد, ورجل بقرن, ورجل بقرن, وذبح السابع, وكبروا عليها جميعا.
From Abul Aswad As-Sulami from his father, from his grandfather, said: It was seven of us with the Holy Prophet, in a safar, and we find the feast day 'Eid al-Adha. So the Prophet ordered us to collect money every single dirham. Then we bought a goat for 7 dirhams. We said: "O Messenger of Allah is expensive for us." Rasulullah SAW said: "Verily, the most important of Sacrifice is the most expensive and least obese". Then the Prophet ordered us. Each person holds four legs and two horns was the seventh kill, then we all bertakbir "(Reported by Ahmad and Al-Hakim).
And Ibnul Qoyyim said in his book 'Ilamul Muaqi'in following hadith suggests: "They are positioned as a family in bolehnya slaughter a goat for them. Because they are familiar companions. Therefore as a learning process that some people buy a goat and then slaughtered. As school children organized by the school to purchase the animal sacrifice of a goat or a cow and then sacrificed. In another hadith narrated by Ahmad from Ibn Abbas, came to the Prophet a man and said:
"I am obliged to sacrifice a camel, I am in a difficult situation and can not afford it". So the Prophet ordered to buy seven goats were then slaughtered ".
Sell ​​Law Section Sacrifice
People who sacrifice may not sell at all things related to animal sacrifice such as, skin, meat, milk etc with the money that caused the loss of the benefits of the goods. Jumhur approaching makruh ruling clerics declared unlawful, according to the hadith:
"Who sells animal hides sacrifice, then he would not sacrifice" (HR Hakim and Bayhaqi).
Unless granted to the needy, poor, or utilized then allowed. According to the Hanafi school of Sacrifice animal skins can be sold and the money wherewithal. Then the money to buy something useful for their household needs.
Butcher Wage Law Giving Sacrifice
Something that is considered haram makruh approach also rewards butcher of animal sacrifice. In accordance with the hadith of Ali RA:
"Prophet Muhammad ordered me to be a committee Sacrifice (camel) and distribute skin and flesh. And ordered me not to give the slightest butcher ". Ali said: "We give of our money" (Bukhari).
Law of Sacrifice on Behalf of Those Who Died
Sacrifice on behalf of the deceased if the deceased intestate or endowments, then allow the scholars agree. If, in the form of vow, the heirs are obliged to implement it. But if the intestate and the family wants to do with his property itself, then according to scholars such as school jumhur Hanafi, Maliki and Hanbali allow it. In accordance with what the Prophet Muhammad, he slaughtered two goats the first for himself and the second for those who do not sacrifice from his people. People who do not sacrifice meant the living and the dead. While Shafi did not allow it. Surprisingly, the majority of Muslims in Indonesia following the opinion jumhur scholars, when they claimed followers of Shafi.
Category slaughter
Charity related to slaughter can be categorized into four sections. First, hadyu second, Udhiyah described above; Third, aqiqah; fourth regular slaughter. Hadyu are domestic animals slaughtered in the Land of Haram in Nahr days for hajj Tamattu and Qiran, or leave in between obligations or do things that are forbidden, whether the hajj or umrah, or just yourself approach to God as worship sunnah. Aqiqah are slaughtered goats associated with the birth of the child on the seventh day as an expression of gratitude to God. If you are born a man disunnahkan 2 tails and if the women of the tail.
While the form of worship other than the above, go to the normal slaughter for food, wherewithal or for sale, like the one who did the ceremony. Then celebrated by slaughtering goats walimah. A successful career in education or slaughtering animals as a gratitude to Allah SWT, etc.. In the event of slaughter cattle is associated with a certain time, certain ceremonies and certain beliefs, it can be classified in terms of the innovation, as occurred in some areas. Moreover, if the slaughter was the objective for the devil or God but God then this is clearly a form of idolatry.
Cover
Something to note for Muslims is that the sacrifice (Udhiyah), Sacrifice (taqarrub) and sacrifice (tadhiyah), all three have a point of similarity and difference. Sacrifice (taqarrub), which attempts a Muslim approach to God with good deeds and the disunnahkan required. Rasulullah SAW said:
Verily Allah says (in the hadith Qudsi): "Who's fighting my lover, surely I have declared war on him. It is not a servant closer to me (taqarrub) with most anything I love, with something I oblige. And if My servant continues to draw near to Me with the Sunnah, then I loved him. If I had loved him, so I become his hearing where he heard, a vision in which he sees, his hand where he was hit and his leg, which he runs. If he asks, I will undoubtedly give and if he asks for protection, then I am protected "(Bukhari).
Sacrifice (Udhiyah) is one form of approach to Allah by sacrificing a small fortune, to buy cattle. Slaughtering animals with specified requirements. While the sacrifice (tadhiyah) has a broader meaning that is sacrificed by treasure, soul, mind and everything to the establishment of Islam. In an atmosphere where Muslims in Indonesia were hit by flood, and their many victims. Then this tragedy should be a lesson meant for Muslims. Is this tragedy because they are away from Allah and stay away from his teaching? To be sure, this tragedy should Muslims closer to Allah (taqqarub ilallah). Carry out His commands and avoid His prohibitions. And that is not affected by the floods is expected to provide care in a way to sacrifice and provide assistance to those affected by the disaster. And among the forms of approach to Allah and shape our sacrifice Sacrifice by slaughtering cows and goats on the day of Raya 'Eid al-Adha and Day Tasyrik. May Allah accept our sacrifice and alleviate this tragedy, and, more importantly, save us from the fires of hell.
