That [is so] and whoever honors the symbols of
Allah, indeed it is from the piety of his heart.
[ Sura Al-Hajj:32]
6. The Virtue of Animal Sacrifice
Translation
Narrated Al-Bara':
I heard the Prophet ( ﷺ) delivering a sermon, and he said (on the Day of `Id-
Allah. a), "The first thing we will do on this day of ours is that we will offer
the `Id prayer, then we will return and slaughter our sacrifices; and
whoever does so, then indeed he has followed our tradition, and whoever
slaughtered his sacrifice (before the prayer), what he offered was just meat
that he presented to his family, and that was not a sacrifice." Abu Burda
got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger ( ﷺ!) I slaughtered the sacrifice
before the prayer and I have got a Jadha'a which is better than an old
sheep." The Prophet ( ﷺ) said, "Slaughter it to make up for that, but it will
not be sufficient for anybody else after you."
Bukhari: 5560

and the Umma of Muhammad" ). Muslim:1967

37. Condition-03
Sacrifice must take place on the time phase ordained in Sharaiah

Many Sahabis like Umar ibn Al-Khattab,
Ali, Ibn Umar, Ibn Abbas, Abu Hurairah,
Anas (Radia-Allahu Anhum) specified the
day of Eid and two days that follow for
offering sacrifice. And it is not known that
anyone objected to this attitude.

from -- (say your name and all other people your
slaughtering on behalf of)
