THE DAYS OF SACRIFICE

Hadrat Abdullah bin Qurt (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated the Prophet as saying that the greatest day in ALLAAH’s sight is Yaum al-Nahr (the day of sacrifice) and next Yaum al-Qarr (the day of resting) which Saur said was the second day. As such sacrifices should as far as possible, be offered on the l0th of Zul-Hajjah. In case, due to any reason this could not be done, then on 11th of Zul-Hajjah. Although it is permissible to do so on 12th, but it is excellent to do so on l0th or 11th of Zul-Hajjah. [Abu Dawud]
