Hajj Qurbaani Question

[hamud]

I want to know how many Qurbaani I have to perform while going to hajj? Is it only at Makkah or another one in my home Country??? State clearly with Regard to Quraan and Hadith.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu


All Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved, and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam


Jazak'allah for your question. When you go on Hajj it is wajib to perform only one qurbani. Allah the Almighty states :

'fa salli li rabbika wan har'

This proves that the qurbani is wajib, but if you would like to put a share in qurbani with someone then a sheep or goat suffices for one person. A cow has seven shares, as each share suffices for a qurbani, and a camel has ten shares. So you may want to save money and add a share for a cow or camel. Nevertheless it is only one qurbani which is wajib per eligible person.



May Allah the Almighty give us all the towfiq to perform the rituals of Eid al Adha.


Wallahu A'lamu Biththawaab
