Sacrificing an animal (Qurbani) during Hajj (L-244)

فَإِذا أَمِنتُم فَمَن تَمَتَّعَ
بِالعُمرَةِ إِلَى الحَجِّ فَمَا استَيسَرَ مِنَ الهَديِ ۚ فَمَن لَم يَجِد
فَصِيامُ ثَلاثَةِ أَيّامٍ فِي الحَجِّ وَسَبعَةٍ إِذا رَجَعتُم ۗ تِلكَ
عَشَرَةٌ كامِلَةٌ ۗ 196d. |

196d. Fa-‘izaaa ‘amintum , faman-

famastaysara minal-hady. Famal-lam
yajid fa- siyaamu salaasati
‘ayyaamin-fil-Hajji wa sab-‘atin ‘izaa raja’-tum.
Tilka ‘asharatun- kaamilah. |

196d. When you are
secure: whoever continues the Umrah until the Hajj, then whatever is feasible
of offering. But if he lacks the means, then fasting for three days during
the Hajj and seven when you have returned, making ten in all. |
‘Amintum – (you are in safety), that is to say; whenever you come in safety and peace from the situations of danger and disease.
Tamatta-‘a – (get benefit), in the sense of religious theology, it aims “to perform the Pilgrimage and Visit (Hajj and Umrah) by joining the both”, namely performing Umrah duly worn with ‘Ihram during the times of Visit and then with another ‘Ihram the Pilgrimage - Hajj) is performed. During the times of Ignorance, the Arabs had invented such false belief that it was sin to perform the Umrah in the season of Pilgrimage (Hajj).
‘Izaa raja’-tum – (whenever you return), it signifies that when you return after the completion of the Rituals of Pilgrimage, though the Pilgrim is staying still in Makkah and he has not yet returned to his native country. However, some scholars have taken the meanings of this narration that whenever you reach your home from Makkah.
This commandment is for that Pilgrim in this verse, who wishes to perform both (Hajj and Umrah) in the season of Pilgrimage. It is called Tamatta’ or Qir’aan. This type of Pilgrim should sacrifice either one goat or seventh share of a cow or a camel. This offering is not required by that Pilgrim who performs only Pilgrimage and he doesn’t perform the Umrah with It. Those people who perform the Pilgrimage Tamatta’ or Qir’aan but they can’t give offering due to poverty or any other strong reason, then it is compulsory for them that they should fast for ten days, three - during the days of Pilgrimage which finish on the ninth Zul-Hajjah (the Day of ‘Arafah) and seven after reaching their native land. This expiation has been fixed in the form of fasting due to the reason that while any individual is unable to obey the commandment of God then his spirit may not bring him unto the rebellion or disobedience. So, he should keep fasting so that his spirit may remain pure and his intention remain good.
