Question :

What is the meaning of the Udhiyah?



The Answer :

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.

 

The Udhiyah (Sacrificial Offering) refers to the livestock (An'am) that is slaughtered as an act of drawing closer to Allah the Almighty. This takes place on the day of Eid al-Adha (the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah) and during the three days of Tashreeq that follow the day of Eid. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
