Udhiyah (offering a blood sacrifice) is a great ritual of the religion and an emphasised practice. Al-Bukhariyy and Muslim narrated in their Sahih that the Prophet peace be upon him sacrificed two big white rams which he slaughtered by his own hand and said ‘bismillah Allahu Akbar’. The merit of the one who revives this practice is very great. At-Tirmidhiyy, Ibn Majah and others narrated that the Prophet peace be upon him said:
ما عمل ابن ءادم يوم النحر عملاً أحبَّ إلى الله عز وجل من إهراق الدم وإنه لياتي يوم القيامة بقرونها وأظلافها وأشعارها وإن الدم ليقع من الله عز وجل ( أي من رضاه) بمكان (أي موضع القبول) قبل أن يقع على الأرض فطيبوا بها نفسًا
This means: >.
In another narration through the route of Zayd Ibn Arqam, that the companions of the Messenger of Allah said: O Messenger of Allah what are these sacrifices for? The Prophet answered: “It is the custom of your father Ibrahim”. They said: “O Messenger of Allah, what type of rewards do we acquire for it? The Prophet said: “For every hair there is a reward. They said: “What about the wool O Messenger of Allah? He replied: “For every fibre of its wool there is a reward”. Narrated by Ahmad and Ibn Majah.
It is recommended for the one intending to offer a sacrifice, that from the beginning of the month of Dhul-Hijjah one should not clip his nails nor shave or trim the hair of his head, his face or his body until he offers the sacrifice. The wisdom behind this is to be protected from Hellfire with all his body parts.
It should be noted, that the animal to be slaughtered as a sacrifice must be from al-an^am, that is camels, cattle, and sheep/goats. What is sufficient of each type is the following:
1. A sheep that has completed one lunar year or when it's baby teeth fall out.
2. A two-year old goat, which has completed two years and commenced the third year.
3. A two-year old bull/cow (cattle) which has completed two years of age and commenced the third.
4. A five-year old camel (male or female), which has completed five years and commenced the sixth.
