Slaughtering on behalf of someone else without verbally taking his name

· 21 Jumada II 1434 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a person asks you to slaughter a sheep on his behalf on the days of qurbani and you agreed to do so, however you didn't verbally take his name at the time of slaughtering, but you did know that you are slaughtering for this person, so is the qurbaani valid on his behalf?

Answer

The Qurbaani is valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

قلت في أوائل القاعدة الأولى من الأشباه لو شراها بنية الأضحية فذبحها غيره بلا إذنه فإن أخذها مذبوحة ولم يضمنه أجزأته وإن ضمنه لا تجزئه وهذا إذا ذبحها عن نفسه أما إذا ذبحها عن مالكها فلا ضمان عليه فراجعه (كما) يصح ( لو ضحى بشاة الغصب ) إن ضمنه قيمتها حية كما إذا باعها وكذا لو أتلفها ضمن لصاحبها قيمتها هداية لظهور أنه ملكها بالضمان من وقت الغصب ( لا الوديعة وإن ضمنها ) لأن سبب ضمانه هنا بالذبح والملك يثبت بعد تمام السبب وهو الذبح فيقع في غير ملكه (رد المحتار 6/330)
