Ibn Majah

Fawa’id and Issues:

➊
It is permissible to send a sacrificial animal to Makkah through someone else while residing in one’s own homeland.
This also carries great reward.

➋
If the hady (sacrificial) animal becomes exhausted or ill on the way, or is unable to continue the journey, then it should be sacrificed right there on the way.

➌
“Nahr” refers to the well-known method of sacrificing a camel.
The method of slaughtering a camel established from the Qur’an and Sunnah is that it should be slaughtered while standing.
Allah the Exalted says:
﴿وَالْبُدْنَ جَعَلْنَاهَا لَكُم مِّن شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ لَكُمْ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ ۖ فَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا صَوَافَّ ۖ﴾ (Al-Hajj 22:36)
“And the sacrificial camels, We have made them for you among the symbols of Allah; for you therein is good. So mention the name of Allah over them when they are lined up (with their legs bound and standing).”
Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhu, in the explanation of (ṣawāff), says that it means (qiyāman), i.e., the camel should be sacrificed while standing. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Hajj, Chapter 119: Nahr al-Budn Qā’imah)
In addition, the camel’s left leg should be tied.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the noble Companions radi Allahu anhum used to slaughter camels in this manner on the occasion of sacrifice.
Jabir radi Allahu anhu narrates that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and his Companions radi Allahu anhum used to slaughter the camel in such a way that its left leg was tied and it stood on its remaining three legs. (Sunan Abi Dawud, Book of Manasik, Chapter: How to Sacrifice Camels, Hadith: 1767)
Ziyad ibn Jubayr radi Allahu anhu narrates that he saw Ibn Umar radi Allahu anhu come to a man who had made his she-camel sit down for slaughter.
He said:
“Tie it and make it stand; this is the Sunnah of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Hajj, Chapter: Slaughtering Camels While Restrained, Hadith: 1713)
Other than camels, other animals are slaughtered, i.e., their throat and the accompanying veins are cut.

➍
The purpose of marking with a shoe is so that passersby may know that this was a hady animal which, due to an excuse, was slaughtered on the way,
and so they may eat its meat.

➎
The one who offered the sacrifice of the hady animal that was slaughtered on the way cannot eat its meat,
nor can his companions eat it, whereas other pilgrims or residents of that area may consume its meat.
