The Obligation of Offering Sacrifice and the Place Where It Should Be Slaughtered

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Sinan from ibn Muskan from Sa‘id al-A’raj who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘Whoever is for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) in the months of al-Hajj. then remains in Makkah until the time of coming al-Hajj, he owes one sheep. Those who are for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) in a time other than the months of al-Hajj, then remain in (Makkah) until it is time for al-Hajj, they do not owe anything because it is a Mufrad al-Hajj and al- Adha’. He (the Imam) said, ‘(Offering sacrifice) is on the people of the cities.”’
