QURBANI JOKES

Eid Al-Adhaa is one of the shi’aar (sacred symbols) of Islaam. Allaah Ta’aala says,

Tradition: “And whoever honors the salient symbols of Allaah, then, indeed, it is from the righteousness of the hearts.” (Al-Hajj v.32)

Every aspect of Qurbaani must be deeply respected. It is haraam to make jokes of Qurbaani related issues. That is an expression of disrespect to a sacred symbol of Islaam and against the order of Allaah Ta’aala to respect the sacred symbols of Islaam.

Consider the following verses in respect to one who disrespects such symbols of Islaam,

Translation: “Yet if you ask them (regarding the comments they made) they will, most surely, say, ‘We are only indulging in idle talk and lighthearted jokes.’ Say (to them), ‘Then, is it Allaah and His revered signs and His Messenger of which you were making mockery?’

Offer no excuse! For truly you have disbelieved after your belief (because of these jesting comments you’ve made).” (At-Tawbah v.65-66)

And Allaah Ta’aala Knows Best.
