Question
Assalam Alaikum
Kindly give evidence from quran about farziyat of qurbani on other than hujjaj on 10th zil hajj.
JazakAllah khair
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
You enquire about Farziyyat of qurbani from the Quraan. At the outset, we wish to point out that the order of qurbani during Eidul-Adha is not explicitly mentioned in the Quraan. However, it is referred to in the Quraan. Secondly, the order of qurbani during Eidul-Adha is not Fardh. It is Waajib. There are much academic discussions on the definition of Fardh and Waajib which is beyond the understanding of a layman. Hereunder are the relevant sources of the obligation of qurbani.
Translation: “Whoever can afford it, but does not offer a sacrifice, let him not come near our prayer place.”
Translation: “The Companions of the Messenger of Allah said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, what are these sacrifices?’ He said: ‘The Sunnah of your father Ibrahim.’ They said: ‘What is there for us in them, O Messenger of Allah?’ He said: ‘For every hair, one merit.’ They said: ‘What about wool, O Messenger of Allah?’ He said: ‘For every hair of wool, one merit.’”
Translation: The Messenger of Allah said: "Al-Fitr is the day that the people break the fast, and Al-Adha is the day that the people sacrifice."
Translation: It is neither their flesh nor their blood that reaches Allah, but it is your Taqwa that reaches Him…
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
