JAKARTA - Want to sacrifice this year but only have limited funds? One of the questions that is often debated is whether it is permissible to sacrifice one goat for one family. The many questions are due to the many Muslims who want to sacrifice with a budget that must be divided with other needs.
In addition to the sacrifice with one goat for one family, another question that is still related is about the name of the sacrifice. This opinion has given rise to several opinions so that some people argue that the naming is only enough for one person and there are also those who say that the name is only one and is intended for one family only. Then how is the complete explanation? Watch the following review.
How is the Law of One Goat for One Family
A person can sacrifice one goat for himself and his family. As Imam Muslim narrated the hadith of Aisyah ra that the Prophet slaughtered a sheep for sacrifice and prayed,
"In the name of Allah. O Allah, accept this sacrifice from Muhammad, Muhammad's family and the people of Muhammad."
In addition, there are many other histories that mention that the Prophet SAW sacrificed a sheep for him and his family. The companions also did the same thing.
Some scholars indeed have the opinion that sacrificing one goat for one family is not allowed. They argue that the above law has been mansukh (lifted or removed). However, the strong opinion is that it is permissible to sacrifice one goat for one family.
As for different families, it should not be just one goat. One goat can only represent one person or one family (who live in one house).
Unlike the cow sacrifice which requires all the names of the sacrifice to be included, specifically for goats if it is intended for one family, it is enough to insert the name of the sacrifice (main) and intended for one family.
Reported from rumaysho.com, Fatwa Al Lajnah Ad Da-imah lil Buhuts ’Ilmiyyah wal Ifta’ no. 3055 there is a question:
"There was a father who died. Then his son wanted to sacrifice for his father. But someone advised him, "You can't slaughter a camel for a sacrifice for one person. It's better to slaughter a goat. Because the camel is more important than the goat. So whoever says "Slaughter the camel", it's wrong". Because if you want to sacrifice with a camel, then you have to do it together."
Fatwa on Sacrifice in the Name of Oneself and Family
In the fatwa, the answer is:
"It is allowed to sacrifice on behalf of the deceased, either with one goat or one camel. As for the person who says that camels can only be slaughtered with a joint together, then his words are actually wrong. However, goats are not valid except for one person and shohibul qurban (person who sacrifices) can intend the reward of the goat sacrifice for his family members. As for the camel, it can be for one or seven people with a joint sacrifice. The seven people will later be able to join in the qurban of one camel. As for the cow, the case is the same as the camel. "
So in this fatwa there are several points, namely:
- A victim of a victim with a goat may represent his victim on behalf of himself and his family.
- The victim with a cow or camel can be carried by seven people.
- The goat for one person, the cow and the camel for seven people are in the matter of the person who bears the financing.
- It is not valid to sacrifice a goat collectively / offspring of more than one person and then intended on behalf of a congregation, school, RT or village. The goat slaughtered in this way is ordinary goat meat and not sacrificial meat.
This fatwa has been signed by Abdul ’Aziz bin ’Abdillah bin Baz as chairman and Abdullah bin Qu’ud, ’Abdullah bin Ghodyan as members.
So that is the explanation about the law of sacrificial animals one goat for one family, hopefully it can be useful and facilitate us to continue to worship Allah SWT. Wallahu a'lam
