Hajji: One or Two Sacrifices

 

Those who are going to perform Hajj, do they offer only one Qurbani or two?

The sacrifice offered by the pilgrims as part of the rituals of Hajj is known as ‘dam e ‘shukr’ (sacrifice of thanksgiving) which is Wajib upon those performing Hajj Qiraan or Hajj Tamattu and Mustahab for those performing Hajj Ifraad. The Qurbani offered by the Muslims all over the world on every Muslim who is of sound mind, mature (who has reached the age of puberty, Muqeem (i.e. he is a Shar’ee traveller) and possesses the amount of fifty two and half ‘tolas’ of silver (i.e. 612,36 Grams) or wealth equivalent to that value which is in excess of one’s ‘aslee’ (basic) needs.
