what is the timing of EID prayers ?

Brother as we see that people set different timing for the eid prayer, which really is confusing, so I want to know the timing of eid prayer?

Answer:

The time for salatul eid begins from the time the sun is three meters above the horizon until the sun reaches its meridian.

Ahmad ibn Hassan al-Bana' records that Jundub said: "The Prophet prayed the 'idul fitr prayer while the sun was [approximately] six meters above the horizon and the 'id of the sacrifice while the sun was three meters above the horizon."

Ibn Qudamah says: "It is a sunnah to pray salatul azha early in order to allow more time for the people to perform the sacrifice, and the salatul fitr is to be delayed in order to give people time to pay zakat al-Fitr. And their is no difference of opinion on this point." And Allah alone knows the best.

How to divide sacrifice meat on EID-UL_AZHA?

Answer:

The Sunnah of our beloved prophet mohammad(pbuh) was to consume a part of it, distribute a part of it among his companions, and give a part of it to the poor and needy.

Allah Says in the Quran : The sacrificial camels we have made for you as among the Symbols from Allah: in them is (much) good for you: then pronounce the name of Allah over them as they line up (for sacrifice): when they are down on their sides (after slaughter), eat ye thereof, and feed such as (beg not, but) live in contentment, and such as beg with due humility: thus have we made animals subject to you that ye may be grateful. Quran(22:36)

It is not their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah: it is your piety that reaches Him: He has thus made them subject to you that ye may glorify Allah for His guidance to you: and proclaim the Good News to all who do right. Quran(22:37)

Narrated Salama bin Al-Aqua': The Prophet said, "Whoever has slaughtered a sacrifice should not keep anything of Its meat after three days." When it was the next year the people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we do as we did last year?" He said, ' Eat of it and feed of it to others and store of it for in that year the people were having a hard time and I wanted you to help (the needy)." Sahih Al-Bukhari[Vol 7, Book 68, No. 476]

Fiqh-us-Sunnah Fiqh 5.115 A person offering a sacrifice may consume, without any restrictions, any amount of meat he may desire. He may likewise give away, or offer in charity any amount he may wish. Some scholars say that one may eat half, and give away the other half in charity, while others say that the meat be divided into three parts. Of these one may keep a part, distribute a part, and give in charity the third part.

If one wishes, one may eat all or part of it, or distribute all or part of it, or give to the poor all or part of it. There is absolutely no restriction on how much one should consume of the sacrificial meat, but it would be best to eat some oneself, distribute some, and give some to the poor and needy.

Which is The Best Animals for Sacrifice on Eid?

Answer:

There is consensus among scholars that a sacrifice must be of one of the animals, and that the best of these are, camels, then cows, then sheep and so on, for a camel is more beneficial for the poor because of its great size (more can benefit from its meat), and similarly a cow is more useful than a sheep.

There is disagreement, however, as to what is best for an individual to offer in sacrifice, a camel or a cow sharing one seventh of their price, or a sheep. Apparently the preference in this regard is to what is more useful and beneficial for the poor and the needy. And Allah knows the best. LIKE US ON FACEBOOK

On Eid-ul-Adha, who can sacrifice animal ?

Answer:

Allah Says in the Holy Quran:

It is not their (the sacrificial animal's) meat nor their blood that reaches Allah: it is your piety that reaches Him: He has thus made them subject to you that ye may glorify Allah for His guidance to you: and proclaim the good news to all who do right. Quran[22(Surah Hajj):37]

The sacrifice on the Eid ul Adha is obligatory on all the hajj pilgrims as it is considered an integral part of Hajj, i.e. every pilgrim must at least sacrifice one animal.

The offering of a sacrifice during the Day of Adha is a preferred Sunnah and thus voluntary For all the other believers who are not actually on the Hajj pilgrimage,. If one who is not performing the Hajj offers a sacrifice on the Day of Adha, one would be eligible to receive a huge reward from Allah; and if one for any reason is unable to offer it, there is no sin upon them.
