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).”

Qurbani on behalf of Rasoolullah Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam or any Deceased Muslim

One may also include the Prophets Alayhimus Salaam, the Sahabah Radhiyallaahu Anhum, the entire Ummah, and all those living or deceased relatives, friends and teachers who have conveyed Deeni knowledge or been a cause of benefit to one.
