Is Damm-e-Shukr and the slaughtering of a Qurbani animal necessary in a Qiraan, Tamattu’ and Ifraad Hajj,?
Question
In a Qiraan, Tamattu’ and Ifraad Hajj, is both; Damm-e-Shukr and the slaughtering of a Qurbani animal necessary?
Answer
In a Qiraan and Tamattu’ Hajj (an Umrah and Hajj performed in one Ihraam and two Ihraams respectively), one Damm-e-Shukr is Waajib (necessary).
In the case of an Ifraad Hajj (a Hajj performed in one Ihraam only), one Damm-e-Shukr is Mustahab (preferable). (Imdaadul Fataawa 2/197)
A Damm-e-Shukr refers to the slaughtering of a small animal e.g. sheep/goat or one-seventh share of a big animal e.g. camel/cow/ox/buffalo within the boundaries of the Haram. (Muallimul Hujjaaj 278)
On the other hand, Qurbani is Waajib (necessary) upon every Muslim person who is a Muqeem (non-traveller) and who is the owner of Nisaab during the days of Eid (10, 11,12th of Zul-Hijjah). (Hidaayah 4/355)
Hence, if during the days of Eid, a person performing a Qiraan, Tamattu’ and Ifraad Hajj is a Muqeem (non-traveller) and he/she possesses the Nisaab, then apart from Damm-e-Shukr being Waajib (necessary) or Mustahab (preferable), the slaughtering of a Qurbani animal will also be Waajib (necessary) upon him/her. In this case, the Qurbani can be done within the boundaries of the Haram or at one’s country/home.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
