companion places the stone onto the hand of the patient and make<br />

him perform Ramī. Likewise, the companions of an unconscious or<br />

mad or immature person sho<strong>ul</strong>d perform Ramī on his behalf but it<br />

is still better to place the stone onto his hand and make him perform<br />

Ramī. (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 1, pp. 1148)<br />

Seven Madanī pearls of ritual sacrifice of Hajj<br />

1. After throwing stones at the big Satan on 10 th Ż<strong>ul</strong>-Ḥijjaĥ, come<br />

to the slaughter area and perform Qurbānī (sacrifice of animal).<br />

This is not the sacrifice that is performed on Eid-<strong>ul</strong>-Aḍḥā.<br />

Rather, it is the sacrifice which is Wājib for a Qārin and a<br />

Mutamatte’ in gratef<strong>ul</strong>ness to Hajj even if he is Faqīr (poor).<br />

This Qurbānī is Mustaḥab for a Mufrid even if he is wealthy.<br />

2. The qualities of animal required for the ritual sacrifice of Eid-<strong>ul</strong>-<br />

Aḍḥā are also required for this sacrifice. (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 1,<br />

pp. 1140) For example, goat (including nanny goat, ram, ewe and<br />

sheep (male/female both) must be of one year. If an animal is<br />

younger than the described age, it is impermissible to sacrifice<br />

it (for Qurbānī). If the animal is older than the described age,<br />

the sacrifice is not only permissible but also preferable. However,<br />

if a six-months old lamb is so big that it appears to be one year<br />

of age when seen from some distance, its sacrifice is permissible.<br />

(Durr-e-Mukhtār, vol. 9, pp. 33)<br />

Remember! Basically, the sacrifice of a six-months-old lamb is<br />

not permissible; its sacrifice is permissible provided it is so<br />

healthy and tall that it seems to be one year of age when seen<br />

from distance. If a six-months-old lamb or even the one short<br />

of just one day in a year does not appear to be one year of age<br />

on being seen from distance, its sacrifice will not be permissible.
