he must replace the whole animal. A voluntary hady may not be slaughtered before the Day of Sacrifice; if someone does so, Mālik holds that it does not fulfil the requirement.
If a pilgrim is driving an obligatory hady that becomes separated from him before he stands at ʿArafah and he later finds it in Mina, two reports are related from Mālik. One says that he should slaughter it in Mina, then replace it with another hady to be slaughtered in Mecca after leaving Mina. The second—preferred—opinion is that he delays and slaughters it in Mecca, and that single sacrifice suffices for him.
Anyone whose hady is lost and who cannot obtain another postpones the fast until he reaches Mina, then fasts. If he can find someone to advance him the price of a hady, it is commendable to borrow it. Should he delay the fast until he returns home and then become able to provide a hady, he offers the hady instead and does not fast.
A sacrificial camel is not to be ridden except out of necessity, nor may its milk be drunk except in a similar necessity, and only after its calf has had its fill. People are not to share in hady or in uḍḥiyah. A report from Mālik, however, permits joint participation in the hady of those performing ʿumrah and in voluntary offerings, but not in obligatory ones. Other jurists allow seven persons to share in a camel or a cow, whether the sacrifice is obligatory or voluntary.
A hady may be slaughtered only in Mina or Mecca, and in Mina only an animal that has been present at ʿArafah may be slaughtered. If it has missed ʿArafah, it is to be brought from outside the sanctuary and slaughtered in Mecca after the pilgrim leaves Mina; yet if he slaughters it in Mecca during the days of Mina, it is still valid.
If two pilgrims mistakenly interchange their hady so that each slaughters the other’s animal thinking it his own, and both animals had stood at ʿArafah, the sacrifice counts for both of them and nothing further is required. Were they on ʿumrah, each would be liable for the value of the animal he slaughtered; the act would not count for either of them, and they would have to start over with a new hady.
The standing (waqf) performed by livestock dealers does not suffice; the owner must bring the animal to stand at ʿArafah himself, or instruct someone to do so. If it is made to stand on his orders, the seller is then like anyone else in this regard.
Camels are to be sacrificed while standing, with one foreleg tethered. They are not to be hobbled unless they prove unmanageable, nor hamstrung unless one fears they will grow weak and be unable to stand.
