Takeaways

• 😀 The concept of Qurban (sacrifice) is often misunderstood, with many thinking it’s only a once-in-a-lifetime act, while it is actually encouraged every year during the Hajj season.
• 😀 Qurban is considered a highly recommended Sunnah (voluntary act), and while it’s not obligatory for all, some schools of thought, like Abu Hanifah, view it as mandatory.
• 😀 A person can sacrifice a goat, sheep, or even a cow for Qurban, with the minimum being one animal per person. Larger sacrifices, like a cow or camel, can be shared by multiple people.
• 😀 The common misconception is that Qurban is a once-in-a-lifetime obligation, but it’s actually encouraged every year, especially during the Hajj period.
• 😀 One must understand the significance of Qurban as it is a highly rewarding act during the Hajj season and has a greater spiritual value than general voluntary charity.
• 😀 A person’s financial status or social position should not prevent them from performing Qurban; even a person with little resources can manage to do it each year through clever planning.
• 😀 The practice of buying smaller goats after Hajj, raising them, and sacrificing them in subsequent years, has been described as a wise method for the less wealthy to regularly perform Qurban.
• 😀 The Qurban ceremony should be simple and not overly complicated. For example, while it is encouraged to witness the sacrifice, it’s not necessary to make a great effort to travel to distant places just to watch it.
• 😀 There are rules about who can consume the meat from Qurban, and it is not for the family of the person who performed the sacrifice, especially in the case of a Nazr (vow).
• 😀 There are additional considerations and etiquettes to be mindful of, such as avoiding the use of sacred or revered names on the sacrificial animal to maintain its honor and avoid ritual impurity.
