Can a Muslim do Fariza-e-Qurbani on behalf of his deceased parents?

Qurbani is the graceful act every Muslim man and woman wants to perform on 10^th of Zil-Hijjah. It is indeed pleasurable to know that the act of Qurbani is’farz’ upon every man and woman. Apart from this, Muslim can also perform Qurbani from behalf of their deceased parents. It will help in deletion of their sins before the emergence of the Day of Judgment when they would appear to be accountable in front of Allah (S.W.T.).

Usually sadiqah-e-jariah, contribution in charity, recitation of the Quranic verses and ayaats are the acts one individual Muslim can perform so that his/her deceased father or mother would get benefit (Sawaab). But we are thankful to Allah (S.W.T.) that He made the instructions for Qurbani flexible enough that both alive and dead Muslims would earn Ajar-o-Sawaab by slaughtering their bought Halal animal to fulfill the purpose the Qurbani.

Muslim son can carry out Qurbani on behalf of his expired parents. Muslim woman would have to follow the same instructions. If she is married then she has to ask his husband so that his husband would carry out Qurbani for her deceased parents. If he doesn’t allow her then she couldn’t perform this act. But if   is single or married and she earns money, if she wants to perform Sunnat-e-Ibrahimi for her parents then she is allowed to do so.

Among the months of Islamic calendar, the last month of Zil-Hijja is the most blessed of them. It is advised to recite specific aurado-wazaif and to offer ‘Nafl’ Namaz from the 1^st of Zil-Hijja till 13^th of the month. This should be kept in mind that ‘Fariza-e-Qurbani’ is only applicable to those Muslim brothers and sisters who have gone through the stage of Puberty.

It is especially advised to the Muslim Ummah to follow this act if they want their deceased beloved to receive bestowed blessings from Allah (S.W.T.) wherever they are after they had played their roles upon the stage of the world. Our beloved Prophet whom we also call as ‘Companion of Allah (S.W.T.)’ AND Hazrat Ismail has done a great of kindness towards humanity and Muslim Ummah.

Hidayah for Muslim sisters if they want to carry out Sunnat-e-Ibrahimi

Muslims who perform Sunnat-e-Ibrahimi are fortunate people because they slaughter qurbani animal in order to please Allah Almighty and prove Him that He is the mighty over all of us. We perform the ritual of qurbani in the memory of our beloved Prophet Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S.) and Hazrat Ismail (A.S.)

They happily had done whatever they were asked to perform by Allah Almighty. Qurbani can be both performed by Muslim men and women. The deed of qurbani is ‘farz’ upon ‘baligh’ Muslim man and woman. If they can afford goat, cow, sheep, buffalo, camel or other qurbani animal they are most welcome to do Sunnat-e-Ibrahimi.

Women are always questioned about performing their deed of qurbani.  Yes, they can also fulfill the act of qurbani. The second question comes in our mind is that are they allowed to do revise the ritual of qurbani in halat-e-haidh(monthly bleeding from uterus) and halet-e-nafaas (bleeding after the birth of her baby)?

The question has been brought to light by several Muslim women because generally they aren’t allowed to offer namaz (Salat), they can’t fast in month of Ramadan, they can’t offer pilgrimage in Kaaba and also they aren’t allowed to recite or read Holy Quran but they can verbally read or recite it. Allah has bestowed His blessing upon His every creation verily it is the human who always do bad with his/her self. Allah (S.W.T.) has also allowed women in halat-e-haiz or in halat-e-nafaas to slaughter their bought qurbani animal.

If a Muslim is capable enough then Allah would be pleased by him when he carries out qurbani on behalf of his zooja (wife) who is alive nurturing his kids, looking after his house and living with him under one roof.

Muslim Women are also allowed to act upon the ritual of qurbani normally. All Sharia-qurbani laws are applicable to them surely. Women can perform the qurbani on the behalf of their deceased grandparents, parents and spouses. It is also a fact that Muslim can also dedicate his qurbani to our most adored Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H).

Allah (S.W.T.) has provided us with Deen-e-Kamil. Every commandment and instruction scripted in Quran Shareef by Allah has logical basis, as we believe in His sovereignty we can’t deny any of His prescribed instruction to act upon.

A PERCEPTIVE GLIMPSE OF QURBANI

We celebrate Qurbani on 10^th of Zil-Hijja according to Islamic calendar every year. It is the biggest festival of Islam which is celebrated all around the globe where Muslims are present.  Sometimes, we as a Muslim think of Eid-ul-Azha just as an Islamic ritual to slaughter Halal animals for the sake of Allah (S.W.T.) and distribute the meat among unprivileged people.

Qurbani is a sacred ritual. Muslims buy healthier Halal animals, feed them, take care of them and protect them from every calamity. Thus they treat the animals as equals and when the day of Qurbani arrives they slaughter their beloved animal in the name of Allah Almighty. Allah loves His beings who obediently follow His commandments and spend their lives according to the Sunnah of Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (P.B.U.H.).

Islam is the most splendid religion on earth. Its every ritual is not indeed aims at fulfilling religion hood but it has deep meanings and thus when we understand those deep meanings it has great impact in our lives as well. When Muslims fulfill every obligation of Allah (S.W.T.) they prove that they believe in the sanctity of Allah Almighty.

When Muslims perform Qurbani they actually understand that the blessings which Allah has bestowed upon them owe their existence to Allah (S.W.T.). These blessings are given by Allah (S.W.T.) and not a single human being can claim his ownership over them. It is the Allah Almighty who holds rest powers. By performing the obligation of Qurbani, Muslim revises the concept of Aqida Tauheed i.e. there is no such God but Allah.

The Qurbani obligation is mandatory to our every Muslim brothers and sisters who are wealthier enough to carry out such mission. The second, purposeful thought behind the concept of Islamic Qurbani is about accepting the crucial reality that our every possession our wealth and kids are a challenge to us. It means that Muslim shouldn’t forget Allah by indulging themselves in carrying out worldly tasks such as accumulating wealth and taking care of kids.

The third fact is that nothing should come first to Muslim but Allah Almighty. We should give up everything to execute the commandments of Allah Almighty. Hence, He is the sovereign authority over us and His sovereignty is universal.

Our beloved Prophets Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S.) and Hazrat Ismail (A.S.) both have shown their sincere passion to become obliging beings of Allah (S.W.T.).

Does the husband have to pay for his wife's qurbani, or is she legally responsible to pay for herself in hajj?

Qurbani is obligatory on every Muslim regardless of their gender be it male or female they have to perform this sacred act in order to prove of their submission to ALLAH’s will and command. Everyone has to pay for their qurbani animal if they have reached puberty. However, it is the husband or father who can pay for their wife and children (not reached puberty) respectively.

If wife doesn’t have the required amount i.e. 613.35 grams of silver or any kind of wealth which is equivalent to it then it affirms that she is solely dependent on his husband for her maintenance and thus husband should pay for her wife’s qurbani. Similarly, it is with the children who are still looked after by their parents i.e. they are dependent but have reached the age of puberty then also father can perform the same role aforementioned for the husband. Father or husband, if they both can afford the expense of another qurbani other than their own, can perform this act on behalf of the dependent wife and his children. For this he will be definitely rewarded as it is his right to safeguard and take responsibility of them all.

Similar would be the case with the couple at Hajj where it is also permissible while performing qurbani that if wife is sahib-e-nisaab i.e.  She is wealthy enough to pay for her qurbani animal then she should do so. Otherwise it will not be wrong if asks of her husband to perform qurbani on her behalf as well.

It is thus concluded that qurbani cannot be neglected in any case except the conditions which make the laws lenient and easy-going when a Muslim cannot perform qurbani or when he wants to perform but is unaware of the rules that are to be followed prerequisite to qurbani at Hajj or simply at his own place.

Sharing in Sacrifice: Permissible or not

Sharing does not means to distribute your share of the animal’s meat with others, it also has a meaning that throws light on the share of the animal that is to be sacrificed and apportioned among people. Nowadays people cannot afford to purchase qurbani animal which is very expensive for the ones who want to follow this Sunnah but financial problems hinder their wish to be fulfilled as to please ALLAH Almighty.

From the sunnah we are taught how an animal can be shared by many. Sheep, goat or ram constitutes just one share i.e no other person can add his share of money in buying it. However, for cow and camel it is seven people who can contribute and thus perform qurbani at the occasion of Eid-ul-Adha. This method of adding one’s share in the animal which is to be slaughtered, benefits all from it whether some of them did not had the intention of qurbani and only wanted a share from the sacrificial animal’s meat. From many resources it has been traced down that in a sheep, goat or lamb our beloved Prophet Muhammad is not found to had let two people sharing one animal. Nevertheless, animals i.e cow and camel can permissibly uphold seven shares at a time. The seven members can be of the same family or else others can also be facilitated by this way in performing this sacred act as to commemorate Hazrat Ibrahim’s sacrifice of his most precious possession.

It is a really great thing for people who in their hearts know of the importance and the reward that is promised by ALLAH when one sacrifices animal solely as to prove of his love and submission of will to HIM. Therefore, sharing in sacrifice is permissible and each one is opportune to perform qurbani by willingly and the budget that allows them to purchase an animal for this holy event.

Other Types of Qurbani: Aqueeqa for a New Born Child

The qurbani which is most famous and popular among the rest is the slaughter of animal at the occasion of Eid-ul-Adha. However, there are other qurbani types too i.e Sadqa and Aqueeqa.

Sadqa

Sadqa is given as to save the person from any calamity which can harm him or take away his/her life. In it animal or even some part of its meat can be distributed among the ones who are particularly nominated to be the ones who can eat the meat distributed as to fulfill the conventions for sadqa.

aqueeqa

On the other hand it is aqueeqa which is related to the new born child who is a blessing from ALLAH Almighty and thus Aqeeqa has to be performed as to free the Chile from impurities. It is also said that it makes the child obedient to his parents or inhibits the troubles or hardships that he will have to bear or pass through in his life. It has many explanations stated by great religious scholars. Most effectively it had been performed by our beloved Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) on the birth of his grandsons Hassan and Hussain.

It is actually the removal or shaving off the newborn’s head and distributing meat of an animal which is as elucidated by our Last Prophet. Hazrat Aisha (R.A) narrates that "The Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam instructed us to sacrifice two goats in favor of a boy and one goat in favor of a girl."(TIRMIDHI). It is advised to perform the act of shaving off the child on the 7^th day after his birth which can be simplified by putting it this way that if the child was born on Monday then on Sunday Aqueeqa is to be performed. And if it was Tuesday then Monday will be the day on which by name of the child the animal be it a sheep or goat which is healthy and qualifies for qurbani, it should not be weak or sick, and must be one year old or looks healthy enough to be sacrificed as passing off to be one year old.

Thus Aqueeqa if not possible for the guardians or the ones who will be responsible to look after the child are not to take loan or ask someone else to pay for his/her Aqueeqa. If they can then they should follow what our religion teaches and demands to perform specifically on the seventh day after the child opens his eyes in the real world around him.
