All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has not begotten a son, and Who has no partner in His Dominion, nor He is low to have a helper, protector or supporter. And magnify Him with all magnificence. May Allah send His peace and blessings upon the one whom His Lord sent as a guider, a bearer of glad tidings and a warner. And as one who invites to Allah by His Leave, and as a lamp spreading light. May His complete and abundant peace and blessings upon him, his family and his companions. Congratulations O noble brothers for the favor of Allah upon you, that He has extended your lifespan and your appointed term so that you could reach these blessed ten days. The first ten days of Dhil-Hijjah is a season of profit, a market of commerce and a field of competing towards goodness. So whomever Allah blesses to reach these ten days, then let him praise Allah abundantly and to ask Him to grant him success in these days by doing that which He loves. And that He favors him by accepting it.
The First Ten Days of Dhil Hijjah
by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Sāleh al Uthaymīn [Video|Ar-En Subtitles]
https://youtu.be/hnTr-xr7yGA [3 min]
The Ten days of Dhil-Hijjah begins when the month of Dhil-Hijjah enters. And itfinishes on the Day of ‘Eid, the ‘Eid of sacrifice. In regards to the deedsperformed in it, The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said in regards to it, “There are nodays in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allāh than these ten days.”The people asked, “Not even Jihād for the sake of Allāh?” He said, “Not evenJihād for the sake of Allāh. Except in the case of a man who went out to fightgiving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing.”
And so with this I encourage my Muslim brothers to take advantage of thistremendous opportunity, and to increase in righteous deeds during these ten daysof Dhil-Hijjah, like reciting the Qur’ān and the remembrance of Allāh, with itsdifferent types, saying Allāhu-akbar, Lā ilāha illa Allāh, Alḥamdulillāh, andSubḥānallāh, charity, fasting, strive to perform every righteous deed.
What’s astonishing is that the people are heedless regarding these ten (days).You find during the (last) ten (nights) of Ramadhān, do they strive or not? Theystrive! However in the ten (days) of Dhil-Hijjah, you barely see anyonedistinguishing between it and the other days! However if a person performsrighteous deeds during these ten (days), he is reviving what the Messenger ofAllāh ﷺ directed to from righteous deeds.
If a person wants to sacrifice when these ten (days) enter, then he doesn’t cutanything from his hair, his nails, nor his skin. He doesn’t cut from any ofthese. This is if he wants to sacrifice. As for if someone sacrifices on hisbehalf, then there is no problem. So if a person wants to sacrifice on behalf ofthe people in his household, then he makes one sacrifice, as it is the Sunnah.It is not binding upon the people of the household to withhold cutting fromtheir hair, their nails or their skin. It is only binding upon who? The one whois sacrificing, the father.
And what you hear from this saying, ‘It is prohibited (to cut from their hair,nail, and skin) for the one sacrificing and the one who the sacrifice is done onbehalf of.” Then this is the saying of some of the scholars. As for the ḥadīth,the Prophet ﷺ said, “If one of you wants to sacrifice, let him not cut anythingfrom his hair or nails.” He directed his speech to the one who wants tosacrifice.

[The following is posted from: The Conditions of a Sacrificial Offering – Imaam Muhammad bin Saalih Al-‘Uthaimeen ]
The Third Condition: The animal must be free of any defect that would prevent its slaughter from being valid and acceptable. These defects are of four types:
1. Clear defectiveness of the eye: This is when the animal’s eye becomes sunken or it sticks out to the point that it looks like a knob or it becomes a pale white indicating clearly that it is one-eyed.
2. Clear illness: This is when the animal exhibits signs of sickness, such as a fever that keeps it from grazing and causes a loss of appetite, or an obvious scabies infection that will spoil its meat and harm a person’s health (if he eats it), or a deep wound that threatens to affect its health and so on.
3. Clear limping: This is when the animal is unable to step safely (without hurting itself) when walking.
4. Emaciation that causes brain loss: This is based on what the Prophet said when he was asked about what types of animals one should avoid when sacrificing.
He gestured with his hand and said: “They are four: The lame animal that clearly walks crookedly; the one-eyed animal that clearly has a defect in the eye; the sick animal that clearly has signs of illness; and the emaciated animal that is (usually) not picked.” [2]
This hadeeth was reported by Maalik in al-Muwatta from Al-Baraa’ bin ‘Aazib. In another version of this report narrated by Al-Baraa’ found in the Sunan collections, he said: “The Messenger of Allaah stood up amongst us and said: ‘Four types (of animals) are not permissible to use as sacrificial offerings…’ and he went on to mention them.” [3]
So therefore if these four defects are found in an animal, they prevent its slaughter and sacrifice from being valid. This goes as well for any other defect that is similar to or worse than these, which means that it is also not valid to sacrifice the following types of animals:
1. A blind animal that cannot see with both its eyes.
2. An animal suffering from nausea until it releases its load and its harm is removed.
3. An animal that has been assisted in giving birth if natural delivery is difficult until the threat of danger is removed.
4. An animal afflicted by something fatal such as choking, falling from a high place, and so on until the threat of danger is removed.
5. A crippled animal, which is an animal that cannot walk due to a physical disability.
6. An animal with one of its front legs or back legs broken.
So if these last defects are added to the four mentioned in the narrations, the types of animals that cannot be slaughtered become ten in total. There are these six types plus the animals that suffer from the four previously mentioned defects.

Virtues of the Month of Muharram and Fasting on Aashoora – Abu Muhammad Al Maghribee [Audio|En]
(36. Verily, the number of months with Allah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are sacred. That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein, and fight against the Mushrikin idolaters collectively as they fight against you collectively. But know that Allah is with those who have Taqwa.)
Soorat at-Tawbah 9:36
Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Bakrah said that the Prophet said in a speech during his Hajj,
(The division of time has turned to its original form which was current when Allah created the heavens and the earth. The year is of twelve months, out of which four months are sacred: Three are in succession Dhul-Qa`dah, Dhul-Hijjah and Muharram, and (the fourth is) Rajab of (the tribe of) Mudar which comes between Jumada (Ath-Thaniyah) and Sha`ban.”
The Prophet then asked, (What is the day today’) We said, “Allah and His Messenger know better. He kept quiet until we thought that he might give that day another name. He said (Isn’t it the day of Nahr) We replied, “Yes.” He further asked, (Which month is this) We again said, “Allah and His Messenger know better,” and he kept quiet and made us think that he might give it another name. Then he said,(Isn’t it the month of Dhul-Hijjah) We replied, “Yes.” He asked, (What town is this) We said, “Allah and His Messenger know better,” and he kept quiet until we thought that he might change its name. He asked, (Isn’t this the (Sacred) Town) We said, “Yes.” He said,
(Verily! Your blood, property and honor are sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours and in this city of yours. Verily, you will meet your Lord and He will question you about your actions. Behold! Do not revert to misguidance after me by striking the necks of one another. Have I conveyed It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform those who are absent, because those who are absent might comprehend (what I have said) better than some who are present.)
Al-Bukhari and Muslim collected this Hadith.

Tafseer – Explanation Surah 78-114 – Tafseer Juz Amma
The following is posted from Tafseer Ibn Kathir , Darussalam:
Allah says,
﴿فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ ﴾
(Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice.) meaning, `just as We have given you the abundant goodness in this life and the Hereafter — and from that is the river that has been described previously — then make your obligatory and optional prayer, and your sacrifice (of animals) solely and sincerely for your Lord. Woship Him alone and do not associate any partner with him. And sacrifice pronouncing His Name alone, without ascribing any partner to Him.’ This is as Allah says,
﴿قُلْ إِنَّ صَلاَتِى وَنُسُكِى وَمَحْيَاىَ وَمَمَاتِى للَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَـلَمِينَ – لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَبِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَاْ أَوَّلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ﴾
(Say: “Verily, my Salah, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of all that exists. He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims.”) (6:162-163)
Ibn `Abbas, `Ata,’ Mujahid, `Ikrimah and Al-Hasan all said, “This means with this the Budn should be sacrificed.” Qatadah, Muhammad bin Ka`b Al-Qurazi, Ad-Dahhak, Ar-Rabi`, `Ata’ Al-Khurasani, Al-Hakam, Isma`il bin Abi Khalid and others from the Salaf have all said the same. This is the opposite of the way of the idolators, prostrating to other than Allah and sacrificing in other than His Name. Allah says,
﴿وَلاَ تَأْكُلُواْ مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّهُ لَفِسْقٌ﴾
(And do not eat from what Allah’s Name has not been pronounced over, indeed that is Fisq.) (6:121)

AND BY THE TEN NIGHTS
[[Meaning: And by the ten nights.]] Sooratul-Fajr (89):2
AS-SA’DEE:
“He swore an oath after it by the ten nights; and they are, upon the correct saying, the [last] ten nights of Ramadaan, or the [first] ten of Dhul-Hijjah, since they are nights which comprise virtuous days; and such acts of worship and devotion occur in them as do not occur in other than them.
So in the [last] ten nights of Ramadaan Laylatul-Qadr (the Night of Decree) occurs, which is better than a thousand months; and in their days the fasting at the end of Ramadaan occurs, which is one of the pillars of Islam. And in the [first] ten days of Dhul-Hijjah there occurs the standing in ‘Arafah, wherein Allah forgives His servants with forgiveness that causes Satan to grieve.

The second question of Fatwa no. 1474
Q2: Is it permissible for a person to offer an Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) on behalf of a dead person?
A: All Muslims have agreed upon its permissibility. So, it is permissible to offer Ud-hiyah on behalf of a dead person because of the generality of the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him):
When a man dies, his acts come to an end, but three, recurring charity, or knowledge (by which people) benefit, or a pious son, who prays for him (for the deceased).[1]
(Narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawud, Al-Tirmidhy, Al-Nasa’y and Al-Bukhari in his book Al-Adab Al-Mufrad on the authority of Abu Hurayrah)
Offering Ud-hiyah on behalf of the dead is also considered a Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity) because it benefits the person offering it, the dead person and other people.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

The Virtues of the Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah – Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih Al-‘Uthaymeen رحمه الله. Translated by Abu ‘Abdullah Naasir Hussain حفظه الله.
Transcription of the Video:
Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih Al-‘Uthaymeen:
All praises, abundant and blessed, are for Allah. I testify that none deserves to be worshipped except Allah alone, who has no partners a testimony which saves the one who says it from the punishment of Allah, and I testify that indeed Muhammad is His true worshipper and messenger. May the praise of Allah and peace be upon him, his family, his companions and everyone who follows them correctly until the Day of Judgment. As for what proceeds, O worshippers of Allah:
You are indeed coming upon the ten blessed days, which Allah swore by in His statement:
“By the dawn. By the ten nights.” [Soorah AI-Fajr: 1-2]
What is intended by the ten nights, as is held by many of the commentators, is that they are the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. And the Prophet, may the praise of Allah and peace be upon him and his family, said about them:
There are no days in which the righteous actions are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.” They (the companions) said: “O Messenger of Allah, not even Jihad in the path of Allah?” He replied: “Not even Jihad in the path of Allah, except the one who goes out with his self and his wealth and returns with none of them.”

Q: What is the opinion of your Eminence regarding the opinion of the one who says that Sawm in the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah is Bid`ah (innovation in religion)?
A: This is an ignorant person who should be taught.
The Messenger (peace be upon him)ordered that good deed should be done in them and fasting is one of the good deeds.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “There are no days during which the righteous action is so pleasing to Allah than these ten days (i.e. The first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah).” They asked him: “O Messenger of Allah, not even Jihad in the Cause of Allah?” He (peace be upon him) replied: “Not even Jihad in the Cause of Allah, except in case one goes forth with his life and his property and does not return with either of it.” Narrated by Al-Bukhari in his Sahih Book of Hadith. [1]
Though it is not certain whether the Prophet (peace be upon him) fasted them or not, yet it should be relied on what the Prophet said because saying is much more significant than practice. When saying is accompanied by practice, this will affirm the Sunnah. The Sunnah of the Prophet are divided into saying, practice, and approving. Though each of them forms the Sunnah, the saying is the most significant and strong of them. Then, the practice comes next and then approval follows.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “There are no days during which the righteous action is so pleasing to Allah than these days.” [2] By these days the Prophet means the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. Thus, if one fasts or gives to charity during them, one will be doing a great good.
It is ordained during these days also to recite Takbir (saying: “Allahu Akbar [Allah is the Greatest]”), Tahmid (saying: “Al-hamdu lillah [All praise is due to Allah]”), and Tahlil (saying: “La ilaha illa Allah [There is no god except Allah]”) because he (peace be upon him) said:
“There are no days that are greater before Allah or in which good deeds are more beloved to Him than these ten days, so recite a great deal of Tahlil, Takbir, and Tahmid during them.”[3]
May Allah grant us all success!

(37. It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but it is Taqwa from you that reaches Him. Thus have We made them subject to you that you may proclaim Allah’s greatness for His guidance to you. And give glad tidings to the doers of good.) – Suratul Baqarah
Allah says: this sacrifice is prescribed for you so that you will remember Him at the time of slaughter, for He is the Creator and Provider. Nothing of its flesh or blood reaches Him, for He has no need of anything other than Himself. During the time of Jahiliyyah, when they offered sacrifices to their gods, they would put some of the meat of their sacrifices on their idols, and sprinkle the blood over them. But Allah says:
(It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah,) Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Ibn Jurayj said, “The people of the Jahiliyyah used to put the meat of their sacrifices and sprinkle the blood on the House, and the Companions of the Messenger of Allah said, “We have more right to do that.” Then Allah revealed the words:
(It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but it is Taqwa from you that reaches Him.) That is what He will accept and reward for, as mentioned in the Sahih,
(Allah does not look to your appearance or your colors, but He looks to your hearts and deeds.) And in the Hadith; (Indeed charity falls in the Hand of Ar-Rahman before it falls in the hand of the one asking.)

5545. Narrated Al-Bara (radhiyallahu anhuma):
The Prophet ﷺ said (on the day of Idal-Adha), “The first thing we will do on this day of ours, is to offer the (‘Id) prayer and then return to slaughter the sacrifice. Whoever does so, he acted according to our Sunna (tradition), and whoever slaughtered (the sacrifice) before the prayer, what he offered was just meat he presented to his family, and that will not be considered as Nusak (sacrifice).” (On hearing that) Abu Burda bin Niyar got up, for he had slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer, and said, “I have got a six month old ram.” The Prophet ﷺ said, ‘Slaughter it (as a sacrifice) but it will not be sufficient for any-one else (as a sacrifice after you). Al-Bara’ added: The Prophet ﷺ said, “Whoever slaughtered (the sacrifice) after the prayer, he slaughtered it at the right time and followed the tradition of the Muslims.”
5546. Narrated Anas bin Malik (radhiyallahu anhu):
The Prophet ﷺ said, “Whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer, he just slaughtered it for himself, and whoever slaughtered it after the prayer, he slaughtered it at the right time and followed the tradition of the Muslims.”

باب قِسْمَةِ الإِمَامِ الأَضَاحِيَّ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ
5547. Narrated ‘Uqba bin ‘Amir Al-Juhani (radhiyallahu anhu):
that the Prophet ﷺ distributed among his companions some animals for sacrifice (to be slaughtered on ‘Id-al-Adha). ‘Uqba’s share was a Jadha’a (a six month old goat). ‘Uqba said, “O Allah’s Messenger ﷺ! I get in my share of Jadha’a (a six month old ram).” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Slaughter it as a sacrifice.”
Sacrifices (slaughtered) on behalf of a traveller and women.
باب الأُضْحِيَّةِ لِلْمُسَافِرِ وَالنِّسَاءِ
5548. Narrated ‘Aishah (radhiyallahu anha):
that the Prophet ﷺ entered upon her when she had her menses at Sarif before entering Makkah, and she was weeping (because she was afraid that she would not be able to perform the Hajj). The Prophet ﷺ said, “What is wrong with you? Have you got your period?” She said, “Yes.” He said, “This is a matter Allah has decreed for all the daughters of Adam, so perform all the ceremonies of Hajj like the others, but do not perform the Tawaf around the Ka’bah.” ‘Aishah added: When we were at Mina, beef was brought to me and I asked, “What is this?” They (the people) said, “Allah’s Messenger ﷺ has slaughtered some cows as sacrifices on behalf of his wives.”
5549. Narrated Anas bin Malik (radhiyallahu anhu):
The Prophet ﷺ said on the day of Nahr, “Whoever has slaughtered his sacrifice before the prayer, should repeat it (slaughter another sacrifice).” A man got up and said, “O Allah’s Messenger ﷺ! This is a day on which meat is desired.” He then mentioned his neighbors saying, “I have a six month old ram which is to me better than the meat of two sheep.” The Prophet ﷺ allowed him to slaughter it as a sacrifice, but I do not know whether this permission was valid for other than that man or not. The Prophet ﷺ then went towards two rams and slaughtered them, and then the people went towards some sheep and distributed them among themselves.
Whoever said that sacrifices (should be offered) on the day of Nahr.
باب مَنْ قَالَ الأَضْحَى يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ
5550. Narrated Abu Bakra (radhiyallahu anhu):
The Prophet ﷺ said, “Time has come back to its original state which it had on the day Allah created the Heavens and the Earth. The year is twelve months, four of which are sacred, three of them are in succession, namely Dhul-Qa’da, Dhul Hijja and Muharram, (the fourth being) Rajab Mudar which is between Juma’da (ath-thamj and Sha’ban. The Prophet ﷺ then asked, “Which month is this?” We said, “Allah and his Messenger ﷺ know better.” He kept silent so long that we thought that he would call it by a name other than its real name. He said, “Isn’t it the month of Dhul-Hijja?” We said, “Yes.” He said, “Which town is this?” We said, “Allah and His Messenger ﷺ know better.” He kept silent so long that we thought that he would call it t,y a name other than its real name. He said, “isn’t it the town (of Makkah)?” We replied, “Yes.” He said, “What day is today?” We replied, “Allah and His Messenger ﷺ know better.” He kept silent so long that we thought that he would call it by a name other than its real name. He said, “Isn’t it the day of Nahr?” We replied, “Yes.” He then said, “Your blood, properties and honor are as sacred to one another as this day of yours in this town of yours in this month of yours. You will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not go astray after me by cutting the necks of each other. It is incumbent upon those who are present to convey this message to those who are absent, for some of those to whom it is conveyed may comprehend it better than some of those who have heard it directly.” (Muhammad ﷺ, the sub-narrator, on mentioning this used to say: The Prophet ﷺ then said, “No doubt! Haven’t I delivered (Allah’s) Message (to you)? Haven’t I delivered Allah’s message (to you)?”
