The ruling on the sacrifice in brief
Sacrifice is an act of worship through which a Muslim draws closer to God on Eid al-Adha. Its ruling is as in Islamweb Fatwa No. 43932“The majority believed that it is a confirmed Sunnah, the Hanafis believed that it is obligatory, and what is more correct in our opinion is what the majority believed.”
The idea is simple
In the sacrificial animal project, you do not need to buy the carcass yourself, nor to search for a butcher, nor to think about who deserves the meat. You choose the type of sacrifice and specify the name, and Hayat’s field team takes care of the rest in the implementing state.
Why do people choose to sacrifice for the poor in another country?
- There is a greater need: In many areas, families wait for Eid to eat meat once a year.
- The effect is broader by the same amount: One sheep meat reaches 12 families.
- No effort on you: No purchasing, slaughtering, cutting, or distribution.
- You see your sacrifice: You will receive a video of the slaughter and distribution in your name.
If you are looking for the sacrifice of the newborn, not the sacrifice of Eid, you will find the details in Aqeeqah guide.
The idea is clear and easy. But before you book, there is a legal question that most people ask: Is the sacrifice valid if it is slaughtered far from my home?
2. Is it permissible to slaughter the sacrifice in another country?
Opinion of Sheikh Ibn Baz
Sheikh Ibn Baz was asked: “Is it permissible for us to pay a sum of money to buy a sacrifice and slaughter that outside for the poor and needy?” He replied: “There is nothing wrong with whether he slaughters it in his home or outside, but in his home is better.” (Fatwa of Ibn Baz, 18973).
Permission to slaughter the sacrifice in another country It is permissibleAccording to the Sheikh, it is best for you to be at home if possible. Many people combine the two things: one sacrifice at home, and another where the need is greater.
What is Hayat's role here?
Life here Your agent In purchasing, slaughtering and distribution. You are the owner of the sacrifice and its intention is yours, and the Hayat team carries it out in your name and documents it for you.
In which country is your sacrifice slaughtered?
Hayat implements its projects in 11 countriesYou choose the country at the time of completing the order. Most of the sacrifices are slaughtered in African countries from this list, such as Tanzania, Chad, Uganda, Malawi, Niger, and Kenya.

3. The time for slaughtering the sacrifice: the time outside of which it is not valid
It starts after Eid prayer
The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “The first thing we begin with on this day is to pray, then we will return and sacrifice” (Sahih Al-Bukhari, 5545). In the same hadith, whoever slaughters before prayer, his sacrifice “is not part of any ritual ritual.”
It ends with sunset on the 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah
came in Islamweb Fatwa No. 43777“The time for slaughtering the sacrifice begins after the Eid prayer on the Day of Sacrifice until sunset on the last day of the days of Tashreeq, which is the thirteenth day of Dhul-Hijjah.”
| Today | Judgment |
|---|---|
| Before Eid prayer | A sacrifice is not sufficient |
| Eid day (10 Dhu al-Hijjah) after prayer | The first time of slaughter |
| 11, 12 and 13 Dhu al-Hijjah (Days of Tashreeq) | Correct slaughter time |
| After sunset on the 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah | Time is up |
A year for the one who makes the sacrifice before Eid
He, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said: “When the first ten days have begun and one of you wants to sacrifice, he should not touch anything of his hair or skin.” (Sahih Muslim, 1977). This ruling applies to the person making the sacrifice himself, not the implementation team.

Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari, may God be pleased with him, said: “A man used to sacrifice a sheep for himself and his family, and they would eat and be fed” (Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 1505And he said: Hassan Sahih). That is, one sheep or goat is enough as a sacrifice for you and your family.
A cow is sufficient for seven
Jabir, may God be pleased with him, said: “We sacrificed with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, in the year of Hudaybiyyah a camel for seven and a cow for seven” (Sahih Muslim, 1318). If brothers or friends want to share a cow, the number should not exceed seven. Tell us the names upon request so we can agree with you to write them on the board.
