Requirements for sacrificial animals for Eid al-Adha (Freepic)

YOGYAKARTA - The celebration of Eid al-Adha is always awaited by Muslims around the world. Every time approaching Eid al-Adha, people will prepare sacrificial animals to be slaughtered. The selection of sacrificial animals can also not be done carelessly.

Muslims need to know the requirements for sacrificial animals for Eid al-Adha. There are several types of animals that are usually slaughtered for Eid al-Adha celebrations, ranging from cows, goats, buffalo, camels, and so on. In Indonesia itself, cows and goats are the favorites for sacrifice.

This year's Eid al-Adha falls on Monday 17 June 2024. Since several months or weeks before the holiday, people have been busy looking for animals that will be slaughtered. So what are the requirements for sacrificial animals for Eid al-Adha that are important to know?

Animals that must be chosen for sacrifice must not only be healthy and without defects. However, the animals must also be feasible in accordance with religious law. The following are the requirements for sacrificial animals to be feasible and allowed for Eid al-Adha celebration.

The first requirement for animals that are allowed to be sacrificed is that they must be from livestock. Livestock can be in the form of goats or sheep, cows, camels, and buffalo. This is reflected in the word of Allah SWT in the Letter Al-Hajj verse 34, as follows:

You can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't.

"And for each people we have prepared the slaughter (of the sacrifice), so that they call the name of Allah to the livestock that has been referred to by Allah to them". (QS Al-Hajj: 34)

The next requirement that must be met for sacrificial animals is to meet the drinking age according to the Shari'a. The minimum age list of each type of sacrificial animal is as follows:

-tiap:Domba harus sudah berusia minimal satu tahun. Namun jika memang sulit mencari sheep yang sudah satu tahun, maka bisa menggunakan sheep enam bulan.

- Goats: Goats must be at least one year old and must enter the second year.

- Cows: Cows must be at least two years old and have entered their third year.

- Camels: Camels must be at least five years old and have entered their sixth year.

The third requirement of animals that are allowed for victims is that they must be free from physical disabilities. The condition of the defect in question is an animal that has blind eyes, physically sick, limp legs, and thin body is not fat.

The last requirement for animals to sacrifice is not animals that eat unclean. These animals are animals that have been locked up for a long time and their animals eat unclean such as dirt. These animals are prohibited because they can pose a risk that endangers health.

In addition to the criteria for sacrificial animals, Muslims who want to carry out sacrifices must also meet the requirements according to the Shari'a. Here are the requirements for Muslims to be able to perform sacrificial worship during Eid al-Adha:

The main requirement that must be met is that they are Muslim, because in Islamic teachings, non-Muslims are not required to perform sacrificial worship. In addition, sacrificial worship is highly recommended for Muslims.

Orders to carry out sacrificial worship are recommended for Muslims who are financially capable. Therefore, for Muslims who are not financially capable, they are not required to sacrifice.

Not all Muslims are allowed to sacrifice; only those who have been resigned and have reason can do it. Children who have not been late are not burdened with the obligation to sacrifice.

Those are the requirements for sacrificial animals for Eid al-Adha that must be known by Muslims. Illegal and allowed animals to be slaughtered are that they must meet the following criteria. Also read and buy Eid al-Adha sacrificial animals online.
