The ruling concerning whoever slaughtered the sacrificial Animal of At-Tamattu' and Al-Qiran before the 'Eid
Question :
What does his eminence think about whoever slaugh- tered the sacrificial animal of At-Tamattu' or Al-Qiran before the day of the 'Eid, sighting as proof the statement of some of the scholars of the Mathhabs that this is permissible?
Answer:
Those who slaughter the sacrificial animal of At-Tamattu or Al-Qiran before the 'Eid, blindly following whoever said that, there is nothing due on them. However, they should be informed about this in the future (that it is a mistake).
