Question
What do the
Islamic scholars and Muftis of the sacred Shariah say regarding the following:
My wife has three Tolas of Gold and a silver jewellery
set but she does not have any cash to buy an animal to sacrifice or to buy a
share of a sacrificial animal. Can she sacrifice an animal with the money
borrowed? Will her Wajib be fulfilled?
بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ
الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
In the case
questioned about, sacrificing an animal is howsoever Wajib
therefore she must perform it. If she borrows money and performs the sacrifice,
Wajib will be fulfilled.
It is
mentioned both in Fatawa Razawiyyah
and Amjadiyah and the exact words of the first are as
follows: If the sacrifice is Wajib for a person and
he has no cash on him for the time being, (he has to sacrifice an animal)
whether he does it by borrowing a loan or selling some of his belongings. (Fatawa
Razawiyyah, vol. 20, p. 370, Raza Foundation, Lahore)
It is
mentioned in Waqar-ul-Fatawa:
Sacrificing an animal is Wajib for everyone who
possesses Nisab (minimum threshold); (if one has no
cash on him) for sacrificing an animal, either he has to sell his gold and
silver or borrow a loan. He has to act upon either of the above-mentioned
choices. (Waqar-ul-Fatawa, vol. 2, p. 470,
published by Bazam-e-Waqar-ud-Deen, Karachi)
