In The Name Of Allah, Ar- Rahman Ar-Raheem and Peace and Blessing be
upon our Master Muhammad (S)

Makkah Decision:
1 Dhul-Hijjah 1429 was Saturday 29 November 2008, and the Muslims
performing Hajj will be at 'Arafah on Sunday 7 December 2008 (9
Dhul-Hijjah 1429), and 'Eed al-Adhaa Will be on Monday 8 December 2008,
(10 Dhul-Hijjah 1429), inshaa.-Allaah.
Markazi Jamat Ahle Sunnat UK & Europe: Officially announced the 1st of
Dhul Hijja to be Saturday the 29th November 2008 and hence Eid-ul-Adha

the Islamic Ummah the Taufiq to announce the correct sighting
Jamiatul Ulema South Africa: The crescent moon for Zul-Hijjah was
sighted in South Africa on the evening of Friday, 28th November 2008.
1st Zul-Hijjah 1429 = Saturday, 29th November 2008 (S. Africa),
Eid-ul-Adha 1429 = Monday, 8th December 2008 (S. Africa)

Importance and great benefit of the First 10 Days of Dhul Hijjah
"By the dawn, By the ten nights And by the even and the odd" (TM Qur'an
Al Fajr 89)
Allah swears an oath by them, and swearing an oath by something is
indicative of its importance and great benefit. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning): "By the dawn; by the 10 nights" . Ibn
Abbaas, Ibn al-Zubayr, Mujaahid and others of the earlier and later
generations said that this refers to the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah.
<http://kitaabun.com/shopping3/product_info.php?products_id=889> 'Ibn
Kathir Said : 'This is the correct opinion.' (Tafseer Ibn Katheer,
8/413)

What are the recommended acts in these days?
1. The Prayer - It is highly recommended to perform the obligatory acts
at their prescribed times (as early as possible) and to increase oneself
in the superogatory acts, for indeed, this is what brings a person
closer to their Lord. The Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said:
"Upon you is to increase in your prostration to Allah, for verily you do
not prostrate to Allah with even one prostration, except that He raises
you in degrees and decreases your sins because of it." [Reported by
Muslim]
2. Fasting - This has been mentioned as one of the acts of righteousness
where Hanbada ibn Khālid reports on the authority of his wife who
reports that some of the wives of the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
The Prophet, upon whom be peace, would fast on the ninth of Dhul-Hijjah,
the day of Āshūra and three days in every month. [Recorded by Ahmad, Abu
Dāwūd, an-Nisāī and others]
Al-Imām an-Nawawī said that fasting in these ten days is extremely
recommended.
3. Saying allahu akbar; lā illaha illallah and alhamdulillāh - It is
found in the aforementioned narration of Ibn 'Umar: "So increase
yourselves in saying lā illaha illallah, allahu akbar and
alhamdulillāh."
Al-Imām Bukhārī, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "Ibn 'Umar and Abū
Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with them both, used to go out to the
markets in the ten days saying the takbīr causing the people to follow
them in this action."
He also said:"Umar ibn al-Khattāb used to say the takbīr in his minaret
in Mina, whereupon the people of the mosque hearing 'Umar, would start
to say the takbīr as would the people in the markets until the whole of
Mina was locked in glorifying Allah."
Ibn 'Umar used to say the takbīr in Mina during these ten days and after
prayers, whilst on his bed, in his tent, in his gathering and whilst
walking. What is recommended is to say the takbīr aloud due to the fact
that 'Umar ibn al-Khattāb, his son and Abū Hurayrah used to do likewise,
may Allah be pleased with them all.
Strive with us O Muslims in reviving this sunnah that has become lost in
these times and it was almost forgotten, even amongst the people of
righteousness and goodness all of which is unfortunately in opposition
to what the best of generations were upon (preserving and maintaining
the superogatory acts).
There are a number of ways of making takbīr that have been narrated by
the companions and their followers and from these ways is the following:
-         Allahu akbar, allahu akbar, allahu akbar kabīrun.
-        Allahu akbar, allahu akbar, lā ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar,
wallahu akbar, wa lillahil hamd.
-        Allahu akbar, allahu akbar, allahu akbar, lā ilaha illallah,
wallahu akbar, allahu akbar wa lillāhil hamd.
4. Fasting on the day of 'Arafah - Fasting has been affirmed on the day
of 'Arafah, where it has been confirmed from the Prophet, peace be upon
him, that he said regarding fasting on the day of 'Arafah: "Be content
with the fact that Allah will expiate for you your sins for the year
before (the day of 'Arafah) and the year after (the day of 'Arafah)."
[Reported by Muslim]
However, whoever is at 'Arafah as a pilgrim then fasting is not expected
of him, as the Prophet, peace be upon him, stopped at 'Arafah to eat.
May the peace of Allah be upon his Prophet, the family of the Prophet
and all of his companions

The Blood Sacrifice offered on the day of 'Id al-Adha'
The jurists disagree about sacrifices whether they are obligatory or are
a sunna. Malik and al-Shafi'i held that it is one of the sunna mu'akkada
(emphatic sunna). Malik made an exemption in the case of the pilgrim for
relinquishing it at Mina. Al-Shafi'i did not make distinction between
pilgrims and others
Abu Hanifa's said that the sacrifice is obligatory for those residents
of the cities who can afford it,
and that it is not obligatory for travellers. He was opposed in this by
his two disciples Abu Yusuf and Muhammad who maintained that it is not
obligatory (but is a sunna). The same opinion as Abu Hanifa's is also
related from Malik.Ref: Page 516-517 Vol 1
<http://kitaabun.com/shopping3/product_info.php?products_id=508> Bidayat
al Mujtahid The Distinguished Jurist's Primer by Ibn Rush-

There are two reasons for their disagreement. The first is whether the
act of the Prophet (God's peace and blessing be upon him) in this is to
be construed as implying an obligation or recommendation. This is so as
the Messenger of Allah (God's peace and blessing be upon him), in what
is related from him, never gave up offering of sacrifices even while
travelling, as is laid down in the tradition of Thawban, who said " The
Messenger of Allah (God's peace and blessing be upon him) slaughtered
his sacrificial animals and said ' O Thawban carve out the meat of this
sacrificed animal'. I continued to feed him [The Prophet] from its meat
[to people] until he reached Madina". The second reason is their
dispute about the traditions that lay down the ahkam of sacrifices. It
is established from the Prophet (God's peace and blessing be upon him)
in the tradition of umm Salama that he said " When the first ten days
(of Dhu al-Hijja) begins and one of you intends to make a sacrifice, he
should not clip his hair or nails [until he makes the sacrifice] " ,366
They said that his words," one of you intends to make sacrifice",
contains an evidence that sacrifice is not obligatory. When the prophet
(God's peace and blessing be upon him) ordered Abu Burda to repeat his
sacrifice for he had slaughtered it before the prayer, a group of
jurists understood this to imply obligation. The opinion of Ibn Abbas is
that there is no obligation. Ikrima said that Ibn Abbas sent him with
two dirhams to buy meat, and said : Tell the person you meet that this
is the sacrifice of Ibn Abbas. It is related from Bilal that he
sacrificed a rooster. Arguing on the basis of tradition that has not
been laid down on the specific issue is weak.
They disagreed about whether it is binding upon a person, who intends to
make a sacrifice, not to clip his hair and nails in the first ten days
(of thou al-hijja). The tradition about it is authentic. 367

Extra Dua
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-‘As, the Prophet (saw) said,
"The best supplication is the one on the day of Arafah,
and the best thing which I and the prophets before me have said is,
‘There is no god but Allah alone who has no partner; to Him belongs the
dominion, to Him praise is due, and He is Omnipotent (able to do all
things)
(La ilaaha illallah wahdahu la sharikalah, lahulmulk, wa lahulhamd, wa
huwa ala kulli shay in qadir)
(Tirmidhi, Malik)

<p><font size=2 color=black face="Trebuchet MS"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Trebuchet MS";color:black'>There are two reasons for their
disagreement. The first is whether the act of the Prophet (God's peace and
blessing be upon him) in this is to be construed as implying an obligation or
recommendation. This is so as the Messenger of Allah (God's peace and blessing
be upon him), in what is related from him, never gave up offering of sacrifices
even while <span class=SpellE>travelling</span>, as is laid down in the
tradition of <span class=SpellE>Thawban</span>, who said " The Messenger
of Allah (God's peace and blessing be upon him) slaughtered his sacrificial
animals and said ' O <span class=SpellE>Thawban</span> carve out the meat of
this sacrificed animal'.  I continued to feed him [The Prophet] from its
meat [to people] until he reached <span class=SpellE>Madina</span>". 
The second reason is their dispute about the traditions that lay down the <span
class=SpellE>ahkam</span> of sacrifices. It is established from the Prophet
(God's peace and blessing be upon him) in the tradition of umm <span
class=SpellE>Salama</span> that he said " When the first ten days (of <span
class=SpellE>Dhu</span> al-<span class=SpellE>Hijja</span>) begins and one of
you intends to make a sacrifice, he should not clip his hair or nails [until he
makes the sacrifice] <span class=GramE>" ,</span>366 They said that his
words," one of you intends to make sacrifice", contains an evidence
that sacrifice is not obligatory. When the prophet (God's peace and blessing be
upon him) ordered Abu <span class=SpellE>Burda</span> to repeat his sacrifice
for he had slaughtered it before the prayer, a group of jurists understood this
to imply obligation. The opinion of Ibn Abbas is that there is no obligation. <span
class=SpellE>Ikrima</span> said that Ibn Abbas sent him with two <span
class=SpellE>dirhams</span> to buy meat, and <span class=GramE>said :</span>
Tell the person you meet that this is the sacrifice of Ibn Abbas. It is related
from Bilal that he sacrificed a rooster. Arguing on the basis of tradition that
has not been laid down on the specific issue is weak.</span></font><font
