Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Aamir narrates that a person asked Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that a man has made a vow to sacrifice his son? He replied: He will sacrifice one hundred camels, just as Hazrat Abdul Muttalib gave the ransom for his son. And others say he will sacrifice a ram, as Ibrahim did in place of his son Hazrat Ishaq (Ismail). Then I asked Hazrat Masrooq about this matter, and he said: This is one of the ways of Satan; there is no expiation for it.

12924 - He said: (And) (1) another said: A ram, as Ibrahim ransomed his son Ishaq.

12925 - So I asked Masruq, and he said: This is from the (whispers) of Satan; there is no expiation in it.

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with both of them) was asked that a person says he will sacrifice his son. He replied: He should sacrifice a ram, just as Ibrahim did in place of his son Ishaq (Ismail).

Hazrat Qasim narrates that I was with Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) when a woman came and said, "I have made a vow that I will sacrifice my son." Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said to her, "Do not sacrifice your son and pay the expiation for your oath." There was a man present with Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) who said, "A vow involving disobedience is not to be fulfilled (and there is no expiation for it)." Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "Did Allah Almighty not say regarding the issue of zihar: { وَاِِنَّہُمْ لَیَقُوْلُوْنَ مُنْکَرًا مِّنَ الْقَوْلِ وَزُورًا } Then he said, 'In this there is the expiation which you have heard about.'"

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that if a person makes a vow to sacrifice his son, then he should give his blood money as an offering.

Hazrat Sha'bi says that when a person says he will sacrifice his son, he should make his son perform Hajj.

The same is narrated from Hazrat Ata as well.

Hazrat Ikrimah was asked if a person vows to sacrifice his son. He replied that he should sacrifice a ram and give its meat in charity. Then he said: Indeed, there is the best example for you in the way of Ibrahim.

It is narrated from Ibrahim: If a person vows to sacrifice his son, it was said that he should sacrifice a camel.

A person asked Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he had made a vow to sacrifice his son. He replied that he should pay his blood money or sacrifice a ram.
