The Qurbani (those who are obliged to do qubani and some rules regarding qurbani)

(this khutba delivered on just before the eid ul adha'13)dear brothers! today 6th of zulhijjah and on 10th(tuesday) of zulhijjah we are going to celebrate one of the greatest festival of Islam the Eid-ul-adha means the joyous day of blood sacrifice.

in last week we were talking this is the month of zulhajjah. one of the greatest month,the month of HAJJ. the first 10 days of this month the good actions are superior to then any other days. prophet sw. mantioned in a hadith the rewards of the good deeds will consider better then the fighting in the field of bettale for the sake of Allah swt.

this is a great opportunity to those who couldnt manage to go to the hajj this year. during these 10 days we can get closer to Allah swt. Like a HAJI by doing extra nafl prayer, reciting qur'an, giving charity, keeping fast specially, on the day of Arafah prophet sw. said..."whoever does fast on the day of ARAFAH the 9th of zulhajjah Allah will forgive his all the sins what he did in previous and up coming year".

 dear brothers! Allah swt. gave us opportunity to do worship him in various ways so we dont feel bored. one of the best worship is QURBANI which is one of the great good deed of these blessed 10 days. what allah swt. saying..108:2"so pray to your lord and sacrifice"
 

the ‘Qurbani’ is an Urdu and Persian word derived from the Arabic word "Qurban" which literally means an act performed to seek Allah’s pleasure. It is technically used for the sacrifice of an animal slaughtered for the sake of Allah. 

Qurbani it is a demonstration of total submission to Allah and a proof of complete obedience to Allah’s will or command. When a Muslim offers a ‘Udhiya’ this is exactly what he intends to prove. Thus, the ‘Udhiya’ offered signifies that he is a slave of Allah at his best. And that he would not hesitate even for a moment once he receives an absolute command from his Creator to surrender before it, to obey it willingly, even if it be at the price of his life and possessions.

the history of qurbani:

the Qurbani is not new to us. Allah swt. made it obligatory to every nations before us. it started from the biggining of the mankind. The first qurbani was taken from Habil(abel) and Qabil(cain) the son of adam. when they sacrifise thier Qurbani Allah swt. didnt accept ones but, other. most of the book of tafseer mantioning that story that at the biggining of the time there was a rules that the son of adom they can get married thier sibbling as there wasn't any other option eccept them and they cant get married to thier twin sister and they have to marry one year apart to their sister. when the habil was born his twin sister wasnt beutifull and according to the rule qabil  meant to get married to the Habil twin sister and habil meant get married to the qabil twin sister but,   qabil wanted to get married to his twin sister because,  qabil twin sister was beatifull but, the rule wasnt favour to him. but, still he wanted to get married his twin sister.

when they went  to adam to resolve the solution adom said you both do the qurbani whose qurbani will be  accepted. he can get married to the beautifull sister but, Allah swt. didnt  accept qabils qurbani still he wanted to get married to his twin beautifull sister and then he killed HABIL.that story  allah swt. mantioning  in the quran 5:27 "(Muhammad) tell them the true story of the two sons of Adam (Abel and Cain). Each one of them offered a sacrifice. God accepted the sacrifice of one of them (Abel) but not that of the other (Cain) who then said to his brother, "I shall certainly kill you." (Abel) replied, "God only accepts the offerings of the pious ones.

this is how qurbani started and the qurbani we do its the sunnah of ibrahim aw. Allah wt. orderd IBRAHIM in his dream to sloughter his own son ISMAEEL aw. when they both agreed and went to the field to sloughter then Allah called him and said i accpted your sacrifise and it was a test for you. you both have passed and then Allah gave an animal like a ram which they sloughtered that. Allah liked thier sacrifise very much and made this sacrifice/the qurbani a sunnah for the next genaration. Allah saying  "And We kept his praise among the latter generations" 37:108

who is obliged to do udhyah/the qurbani? whos qurbani doesnt accept to Allah swt?
the qurbani

is obligated by Allah upon every Muslim, male and female, who is  financially capable. Financially capable means not only those who has the nesaab of zakat but also who is rich which means the person who has that much money to do qurbanai after his all other expenses.

another important thing is  whose qurbani doesnt accept to allah swt.?  allah swt. doesnt accept the qurbani if there is not pure intention.  qurbani has to be performed only for the sake of allah swt. this is another important thing. there are some people they do the qurbani only for the showing off.  allah saying 22:37 "Never does their flesh nor their blood reach Allah, but your piety successfully reaches Him"

now the another question is; is it sunnah or wajib?
there are two opinions

first one is: its sunnah the opinion from imam maliq and shafei thier refference is Prophet sw. saying narreted by umme salma RA. “When the first 10 days of the month of zilhajj starts, who wish to do qurbani He shouldn't cut his hair not to touch his skin to beautify himself”

in this hadith the words "wish to do qurbani" which doesnt make any obligation.

 second opinion is its wajib. said imam abu hanifa and some other scholler thier refference is Allah swt. saying.. 108:2 "so pray to your lord and sacrifice"
they saying Alla's saying makes things an obligation.

Hazrat Ibn Umar reports that the Messenger of Allah lived in Madinah Munawarah for ten years and performed ‘Qurbani’ every year. (muslim)
