Masail of some very important sacrifices given by Maulana Muhammad Yahya from the monthly Al-Kawthar site:
Sacrifice is an important act of worship. It is obligatory to realize it.
Regarding those who do not perform this act of worship in spite of their ability, it has been narrated in the hadith, "He who is able to offer sacrifice but does not offer sacrifice should not come to our Eidgah." - Mustadrake Hakim, Hadith: 3519; Attargib Wattarhib 2/155
The essence of worship is obedience to Allah and attaining His pleasure. So two things are essential for the fulfillment of any worship. Performing sincerity for the sake of Allah alone and performing it according to the instructions of the Shari'ah. For this purpose, some urgent matters of sacrifice are mentioned here.
