With the approaching Eid Al -Adha, Muslims around the world are keen to perform the ritual sacrifice; Right to God Almighty.
In light of the preoccupation of the feast or circumstances that prevent them from slaughtering on the first day of the feast, the question is repeated about the permissibility of performing the sacrifice on the second day of the Eid.
This issue has topped the list of inquiries received by religious institutions, led by the Egyptian Dar Al Iftaa, which clarified in detail the legal ruling on the date of slaughter, with the determination of the appropriate times and the best days to perform this blessed ritual.
The slaughter on the second day of Eid al -Adha
The Egyptian Dar Al -Iftaa confirmed that the slaughter of the sacrifice is legally permissible during the second day of the holiday, and the time of slaughter extends until the sunset of the third day of the days of al -Tashreeq, which is the fourth day of Eid al -Adha, and thus the days of slaughter will be four, starting with the day of Eid (the tenth of Dhu al -Hijjah) and followed by three days known as the days of al -Tashreeq (11, 12 and 13 of Dhu al -Hijjah).
Dar Al -Iftaa also explained that the time for the sacrifice begins after the sun rises on the day of slaughter, after the time of the Duha prayer entered, with a sufficient time to perform two rak’ahs and two light sermons, and the law is prohibited from slaughtering the sacrifice before the Eid prayer, as it is not permissible to offer the slaughter at this time.
The best time to slaughter the sacrifice
As for the best time to slaughter the sacrifice, it is after the sun rises on the day of Eid and the time for the prayer of Duha, as the time of the legitimate slaughter begins after performing two rak’ahs and two light sermons from the Eid prayer, and continues until sunset the third day of the days of al -Tashreeq (i.e. until the fourth day of Eid al -Adha) and the sacrifice of the sacrifice is prevented before the Eid prayer.
