We offer slaughtering services in Mecca Al-Mukarramah for all types of slaughter: Qurbani, Fidyah, blood, Fidyah of Umrah, Jibran blood, Shukran blood. Conditions for the Fidyah sacrifice: There are many conditions for the Fidyah sacrifice to be valid, and here are some of these conditions: [1] That it is intended to thank Allah -Glorified and Exalted- by feeding the needy and the poor, and doing good to them, not that the purpose is to ward off evil or bring about good. [2] That the Fidyah sacrifice, whether it is a sacrifice, a Nadhr (vow), or Hadi, must meet certain age requirements; if it is from camels, it must be five years or older; if from cattle, two years or more; if from sheep, six months or more. If it is designated, it cannot be sold, gifted, or exchanged. It must be from the livestock, reach the age considered in Sharia, be free from defects, and the best are the fattest, most expensive, and most valuable among their kind. [3] That the intention behind it is to draw closer to Allah -Glorified and Exalted-, as the Prophet -peace be upon him- said: "Actions are only by intentions, and every person will get what he intended." [4] That the Fidyah sacrifice is free from defects; if it is meant as a sacrifice, it should not include the blind, the severely ill, the lame, the one with missing teeth, or the very thin (those with no flesh). The Prophet -peace be upon him- said: "Four types do not qualify for sacrifice: the blind with obvious blindness, the sick with obvious illness, the lame with obvious limp, and the broken or extremely thin (those with no flesh)." [5] And scholars include in this all with severe defect or what contradicts complete safety, and it is disliked if the animal has broken teeth other than the molars. [6] When slaughtering the Fidyah if it is a Feteet (crumbled bread dessert), say: "O Allah, for You and to You, this is the Feteet of so-and-so." [7] The ruling of the Fidyah sacrifice: It is valid if the purpose is to thank Allah -Glorified and Exalted-, feed people, and do good. It is not valid if the purpose is to ward off evil and bring good. [8] Fidyah becomes obligatory if a person vows it, and he must act according to the specified charity in the vow, and he cannot eat from it; all of it should be given to the poor and needy. The owner of the sacrifice and those whose expenses he is responsible for should not eat from it. If the slaughterer volunteers without vowing, he may distribute the meat as he wishes, and he can eat some and feed his family. [9] Etiquettes of slaughtering: There are many etiquettes that are recommended to observe during slaughtering, including the following: [10][11] Facing the Qibla with the sacrifice when slaughtering and doing good to it by doing everything possible to make it comfortable during slaughter, as the Prophet -peace be upon him- said: "Allah has prescribed excellence in everything. So if you kill, do it well; and if you slaughter, do it well. Let one of you sharpen his blade and make it easy for his slaughtered animal." [12] Slaughtering camels while their left hand is tied, as Allah -Glorified and Exalted- said: "So mention the name of Allah upon them standing [still]" (Surah Al-Hajj 22:36). Ibn Abbas -may Allah be pleased with him- explained that this means during slaughtering, the animal should be on three legs with the left hand tied. If the sacrifice is from other than camels, it is Sunnah for the animal to be lying on its side, with its leg placed on its neck to facilitate slaughter, as the Prophet -peace be upon him- did when slaughtering his sacrifice. [13] Completing the cutting of the trachea, esophagus, and the two blood vessels, and presenting water to the animal at slaughter, and keeping the knife out of its sight so it only sees the knife at the moment of slaughter. Lead it gently to slaughter, passing the knife back and forth, laying it on its left side, and tying the three legs other than the right leg to help it rest by moving it. [14] Saying Takbir and Tasmia (Bismillah and Allahu Akbar) at the time of slaughter, preferably saying: "In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate," and supplicating at the time of slaughter. Praying upon the Prophet -peace be upon him- at the time of slaughter, and ensuring that the animal is not slaughtered in front of other animals.
