Umdat at-Talib - Al-Buhuti - (1/126)

Section
(On Missed Hajj and Prevention)

If dawn breaks on the Day of Sacrifice and a pilgrim has not stood at ʿArafah, his Hajj is forfeited. He may leave the state of ihram by performing ʿUmrah if he wishes, but he must repeat the Hajj later and offer a sacrificial animal, unless he had made a prior stipulation. Whoever is turned back from the Sacred House by an enemy must slaughter an offering; if he cannot obtain one, he fasts ten days with that intention and then releases himself from ihram. If illness confines him or his funds are exhausted, he remains in ihram unless he had set a condition.

Chapter on the Sacrificial Offering (hady) and the ʿEid Sacrifice (uḍḥiyah)

The most meritorious animals are camels, then cattle, then sheep and goats. No sacrifice is valid from an animal younger than a jadhaʿ of sheep—six months old—or a thani (1) of any other type: for goats this means one year, for cattle two years, and for camels five years.

A single sheep suffices (2) for one man and his household, while one camel or one cow suffices for seven people.

Unacceptable for sacrifice are: an animal blind in one eye or obviously lame, one that is extremely emaciated, one whose front teeth are broken off, one with its ears severed (3), any animal suffering a disease that harms its meat, and one with a broken horn (4).

(1) In manuscript B: “female.” (2) In manuscript C: “and it is sufficient.” (3) al-ajfa: an emaciated animal whose bones contain no marrow; al-hatma: one that has lost its front teeth from the root; al-jadda: one whose udder has aged and dried up. (4) al-adba: an animal from which most of its ear or its horn has been cut off.

فصلٌ [في الفوات والإحصار] ومَنْ طَلَعَ عليه فجرُ يومِ النَّحر ولم يقفْ بعرفةَ فاتَه الحجُّ، وتحَلَّل بعمرةٍ إنْ شاء، ويقضي ويهدي إنْ لم يشترط، ومَنْ صَدَّه عدوٌّ عن البيت أَهْدَى، فإنْ لم يجدْ صامَ عَشْرةَ أيَّام بالنِّيَّه ثم حلَّ. وإنْ حَصَرَه مرضٌ أو ذهابُ نفقةٍ بَقِيَ مُحْرمًا إنْ لم يكنِ اشْترط. بابُ الهدي والأضحية أفضلها إبلٌ، ثم بقرٌ، ثم غنمٌ، ولا يجُزئ دُون جَذَعِ ضَأنِ مَا لهُ ستَّة أشهرٍ أو ثَنِيٌّ (١) غيره، فمِنْ مَعْزٍ ما له سنةٌ، ومِنْ بقرٍ ما له سنتان، ومن إبلٍ ما له خمسٌ. وتُجزئ (٢) شاةٌ عن رجلٍ وأهلِ بيته، وبَدَنَةٌ أو بقرة عن سَبْعةٍ. ولا تجزئُ عوراءُ ولا عرجاءُ بيِّنتهما، ولا عجفاءُ ولا هتماءُ ولا جدَّاء (٣) ولا مريضةٌ مرضًا يضرُّ بلحمٍ، ولا عضباءُ (٤) .

(١) في (ب): "أنثى"!! (٢) في (ج): "ويجزئ". (٣) العجفاء: هي الهزيلة التي لا مخ فيها. والهتماء: هي التي ذهبت ثناياها من أصلها. والجدَّاء: هي التي شَابَ ونَشَفَ ضَرْعُها. (٤) العضباء: هي التي ذهب أكثر أذنها أو قرنها.
