Tamattu’ Hajj


Picture

Question:

I will be performing Tamattu’ Hajj. I know that I have to slaughter a sacrificial animal for Tamattu’. Out of convenience, can I instruct someone to slaughter the animal in my home country instead of having it slaughtered in the Haram?

Answer:

It is necessary that you slaughter the Hadiy (sacrificial) animal for Tamattu’ in the precincts of the Haram (Makkah, Mina & Muzdalifah). You cannot slaughter it in your home country. (al-Hajj wal Umrah fil Fiqhil Islami, Pg: 178)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
