Takbeer in Dhul-Hijjah – التكبير في عشر ذي الحجة

Ibn Umar and Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu-anhumaa) used to go to the market place during the first days of Dhul-Hijja whilst uttering the Takbeer and the people also used to do so alongside them.– [ Sahih al-Bukhari – 969]

وَكَانَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يُكَبِّرُ فِي قُبَّتِهِ بِمِنًى فَيَسْمَعُهُ أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَيُكَبِّرُونَ وَيُكَبِّرُ أَهْلُ الأَسْوَاقِ، حَتَّى تَرْتَجَّ مِنًى تَكْبِيرًا.

وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يُكَبِّرُ بِمِنًى تِلْكَ الأَيَّامَ وَخَلْفَ الصَّلَوَاتِ، وَعَلَى فِرَاشِهِ وَفِي فُسْطَاطِهِ، وَمَجْلِسِهِ وَمَمْشَاهُ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامَ جَمِيعًا.

‘Umar Bin Al-Khattab used to say Al-Takbir in his tent so that the people in the mosque heard him. Then, the people in the mosque too would say Al-Takbir and also those in the market so that the (valley of) Al-Mina used to reverberate with the Takbir.

Moreover, his son, ‘Abdullah Bin ‘Umar used to say Al-Takbir (aloud) in Mina during these days and after the (obligatory) prayers. He used to say Al-Takbir on his bed, in his tent, in meetings and walkways during all these days. — [ Sahih al-Bukhari- 970]

Few Important Rulings concerning Eed and the Eed Sacrifice

The Takbeer:

The Takbeer is legislated from the dawn of the day of Arafah and during the Ayyaam At-Tashreeq (i.e. 11th to 13th Dhul Hijjah) to Asr time on the 13th of Dhul Hijjah. Allaah (The Most High) said: [وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَّعْدُودَاتٍ ]— ”And remember Allah during the appointed Days.” [Soorah Baqarah: Ayah: 203] The manner in which the Takbeer is performed is: [الله أكبر الله أكبر، لا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر الله أكبر ولله الحمد]. It is prescribed for the men to raise their voices with the Takbeer in the Masaajid, the houses and after the five daily obligatory prayers. This is done to exalt Allaah and to manifest singling Him out in worship and thanking Him.



Bath on the day of Eed

One takes a bath and only men are to wear perfume. The men should also wear their best clothes but neither going into extravagance nor dragging their garments below their ankles and shaving their beards.



Eating From the Eed Sacrifice:

One eats from the Eed sacrifice, because the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) did not use to eat until he returned from the Musalla and ate from the Eed sacrifice. [Zaadul Ma-aad: 1/441]



Walking to the Musalla (i.e. place of prayer)
One walks to Musalla if that is easy. The Sunnah is to pray Eed in the Musalla except if there is an excuse not to do so, such as rain etc. It is also recommended to stay for the Eed khutbah and to supplicate for the Muslims. Likewise, one takes a different road whilst returning from the Eed prayer, because this was an action of the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam).



Eed Greeting:

It is permissible to greet one another after Eed, because this has been established from some of the Sahaabah. Shaikh Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said that there is no particular defined Eed greeting; rather this is left to the people as long as such greeting does not involve sin. Likewise, he (rahimahullaah) said that there is no harm in shaking hands and embracing one another because these are affairs the people have taken as a custom these days and they are not done as acts of worship or as a means of getting close to Allaah.

And Allaah knows best

The best times for the sacrifice | Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan حفظه الله

Question: What are the best times to perform the Udhiyah sacrifice?

Answer: You are aware of the times, it begins after the Eid prayer, which starts after sunrise, and continues until sunset on the 13th day, which is the last day of sacrificing. The sooner the sacrifice the better. There is no doubt that sacrificing on the day of the Eid is better.
