Q: What is the number of the
Days of Tashriq during which it is permissible for a Muslim to slaughter his Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims)?
When should we stop reciting Takbir (saying: "Allahu Akbar [Allah is the Greatest]") after obligatory Prayers?
A:
It is permissible to slaughter the Hady (sacrificial animal offered by pilgrims) for Tamattu` Hajj (`Umrah during the months of Hajj followed by Hajj in the same year with a break in between) and for Qiran Hajj (combining Hajj and `Umrah without a break in between), or the Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) during four days; the day of `Eid-ul-Adha (the Festival of the Sacrifice) and the three days succeeding it. The time of slaughtering ends at sunset on the fourth day according to the most preponderant opinion of the scholars. The time of Takbir after obligatory Prayers ends after `Asr (Afternoon) Prayer of the fourth day.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
