He slaughtered his sacrificial Animal outside of the Haram Area
Question :
The Hajj pilgrim slaughtered his sacrificial animal at 'Arafat during the days of At-Tashreeq and he distributed among those who were there. Is that permissible and what must he do if he was ignorant of the ruling or if he did it intentionally? If he slaughtered his sacrificial animal in 'Arafat and then distributed its meat inside of the Haram area, is that permissible? What is the place where it is not permissible to slaughter a sacrificial animal except in it? Thank you.
Answer:
It is not permissible to slaughter the sacrificial animal of At-Tamattu' and Al-Qiran except in the Haram area. If the person slaughters it somewhere other than the Haram area, like 'Arafat, Jeddah and other places, then that does not suffice him, even if he distributed its meat in the Haram. He must slaughter another sacrificial animal in the Haram area. It makes no difference whether he did so due to ignorance or knowingly. This is because the Prophet ﷺ slaughtered his sacrificial animal in the Haram and he said:
"Take your Hajj rites from me. "
Likewise, his Companions did the same thing. They only slaughtered their sacrificial animals in the Haram area, in following the Prophet ﷺ.
