::::::::::::::EIDUL-ADHA PART 3:::::::::::::::: Al-Baraa (may Allâh be pleased with him) added, I hate that there should be any defect in the ear; whatever defect you see in the ear then leave the animal but do not forbid it for anybody. [Saheeh Ibn Maajah: 2536 as quoted in Al-Wajeez p.501]. Al-Imaam An-Nawawee (may Allâh bestow mercy on him) said: [Scholars] agree that the four defects mentioned in the hadith of Al-Baraa means that any animal that possesses them cannot be slaughtered; the same thing applies to any animal that has any similar defect or worse. Sharh Muslim (13/120) as quoted in Al-Wajeez p.501. The author of Ahkaamul-Eidayn (pp.75-76) brought a narration saying a castrated ram can be slaughtered. That is the narration from Aboo Yalaa and Al-Bayhaqee graded to be hasan by Al-Imaam Al-Haythamee in Majmaz-Zawaaid(4/22). A slaughter is enough for a household. They should eat from it, make gifts to friends and give the poor from it. They can equally store part of it till anytime. The Messenger of Allâh (salAllâhu alayhi wa sallam) said: Store and give the poor… Al-Bukhaaree, Muslim and others recorded it. Ataa bn Yassaar (may Allâh bestow mercy on him) said he asked Aboo Ayoob Al-Ansaaree (may Allâh be pleased with him) about peoples slaughter in the time of the Messenger of Allâh (salAllâhu alayhi wa sallam), and he said, One man would slaughter a goat for himself and members of his family; they would all eat and give others to eat. Al-Bayhaqee reported it with a sound chain as said by the author of Ahkaamul-Eidayn (p.76). Meanwhile, a camel or cow can be jointly killed by seven people. Jaabir bn Abdillâh (may Allâh be pleased with him) said: Seven of us slaughtered a camel and a cow at Hudaybiyyah. Muslim (350). If the economy is not favourable, ten people can jointly kill a camel as apparent in the hadith of Abdullaah bn Abbaas (may Allâh be pleased with him), he said, We were on a journey with the Messenger of Allâh (salAllâhu alayhi wa sallam) then it was time for Eidul-Adha, ten of us jointly slaughtered a camel, and seven a cow. Ibn Maajah (2536) and others collected it. Before slaughtering the animal, the knife to be used must be well sharpened and hidden from the animal, out of mercy for it. A well-sharpened knife will ease the passage of the animal, and that is what the Messenger of Allâh (salAllâhu alayhi wa sallam) did enjoin. Shadaad bn Aus (may Allâh be pleased with him) said, the Messenger of Allâh (salAllâhu alayhi wa sallam) said, Allâh has decreed goodness to all things; when you kill do the killing well, when you slaughter, slaughter well. Let one of you sharpen his knife well and let the slaughter die well. Recorded by Muslim (1955). It is a sharp object like knife, axe, cutlass, etc, that can be used. It is forbidden to use the nail and the teeth. Al-Bukhaaree (2488) and Muslim (1967) recorded a hadith forbidding that, in this wording, …so far it (the object) causes a blood flow, then eat (the slaughter), if the object is not a tooth or a nail… . See Al-Mulkhas Al-Fiqhee (p.612).
