—nor the offerings made for tamattuʿ or for qirān—except on the Day of Sacrifice. The other mandatory offerings may be slaughtered whenever one wishes, but only within the sanctuary itself. Their meat may be donated to the poor of the ḥaram or to others, and no prior public announcement is required. For camels, the better method is nahr (piercing at the base of the neck); for cattle and sheep it is dhabḥ (throat-slaughter).

It is preferable that a person slaughter his animal himself, if he is able, then give away its saddle-cloths and halter in charity, and not pay the butcher’s fee from the animal.

Whoever drives a camel as an offering and is compelled to ride it may do so; if he can manage without, he should not mount it. If the camel is lactating, he may not milk it, but should cool its udder with cold water until the milk stops.

If an offering dies on the way, then—if it was voluntary—nothing further is required. If it was obligatory, he must replace it; the same applies if it suffers a major blemish. He may then dispose of the blemished animal as he wishes.

When a camel offering becomes fatally injured en route, if it was voluntary he must slaughter it, smear its hoof with its blood, and strike its side with it; neither he nor any other wealthy person may eat from it. If the offering was obligatory, he must substitute another and may do as he wishes with the injured one.

Collars are placed on voluntary offerings and on those for tamattuʿ and qirān, but not on the offering for impediment (iḥsār) or on those owed for violations.
