Warning for those who Ignore Qurbani – Part 15

Hazrat Abu Hurairah Radhiyallaahu Anhu reports that Rasoolullah Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam said,

مَنْ وَجَد سَعَةً فلم يُضَحِّ فلا يَقْرَبَنَّ مُصَلاَّنا

“He who has the means of performing Qurbani but does not do so should not come close to our Eidgah (Place of Eid Salaah).”
