 Is it halal to eat bowel of sacrificed animal in eidul Adha?

ChatGPT said:

In general, yes, it is halal (permissible) to eat the bowels or intestines of a sacrificed animal during Eid al-Adha, provided the following conditions are met:


Islamic Guidelines for Halal Consumption:

  1. The animal is halal (e.g., sheep, goat, cow, or camel).

  2. The sacrifice is done properly — following Islamic rules of dhabiha.

  3. The organs are cleaned thoroughly and properly cooked.

  4. No impurity (najasah) remains — fecal matter must be completely removed from the bowels/intestines before cooking.

  5. No health risks — consuming spoiled or unsafe parts is discouraged.


💬 Scholarly Opinions:

Many classical Islamic scholars, including from the Hanafi, Shafi‘i, Maliki, and Hanbali schools, regard intestines, stomach, and internal organs as permissible to eat, as long as they are cleaned and free from filth.

Example:

  • The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was known to eat liver and spleen, which are also internal organs.

  • Eating tripe (stomach lining) or intestines is culturally common and religiously accepted in many Muslim communities.


⚠️ Important Note:

  • If the intestines are not cleaned properly or contain impurities, they become haram to consume until cleaned.

  • This is a matter of purity and hygiene, not the organ itself being haram.


Conclusion:
Permissible (halal) to eat the bowel/intestines of a sacrificed animal during Eid al-Adha, as long as they are properly cleaned and prepared

The sacrifice of an animal (Qurbani or Udhiyah) during Eid al-Adha is considered wajib (obligatory) by some schools of Islamic law and sunnah mu’akkadah (emphasized Sunnah) by others. The ruling differs depending on the school of thought.

Here is a breakdown with references:


🟨 1. Hanafi School: Wajib (Obligatory)

  • The Hanafi madhhab holds that Qurbani is wajib for:

    • Every Muslim who is sane, adult (baligh), resident (not a traveler), and possesses wealth equivalent to or above the Nisab (threshold of zakat).

🔹 Evidence from Hadith:

Abu Huraira (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"Whoever has the means and does not offer the sacrifice, let him not approach our place of prayer."
Sunan Ibn Majah 3123 (Hasan, according to scholars like Al-Albani)

🔸 Hanafi Interpretation: This stern warning indicates a level of obligation, hence the ruling of wajib.


🟩 2. Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali Schools: Sunnah Mu’akkadah (Emphasized Sunnah)

  • These schools consider Qurbani highly recommended, but not obligatory.

  • Sunnah Mu’akkadah means that the Prophet (ﷺ) did it regularly and strongly encouraged it, but missing it is not sinful if one has an excuse.

🔹 Hadith Evidence:

Anas (RA) reported:
"The Prophet (ﷺ) sacrificed two white rams with black markings. He slaughtered them with his own hand, said 'Bismillah' and 'Allahu Akbar', and placed his foot on their sides."
Sahih Bukhari (5558) and Muslim (1966)

🔸 Interpretation: The Prophet ﷺ performed the sacrifice, but there is no explicit command making it fard (compulsory) on every individual, hence classified as Sunnah Mu’akkadah by these schools.


🟥 3. Not Fard (Not Absolutely Obligatory)

  • No major school of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) considers Qurbani to be fard 'ayn (individually obligatory like Salah or fasting in Ramadan).

  • There is no direct Qur’anic verse commanding every Muslim to perform Qurbani.

  • Surah Al-Kawthar (108:2):

"So pray to your Lord and sacrifice [to Him alone]."
This is interpreted by scholars as referring to the general act of sacrifice, not necessarily making Eid al-Adha Qurbani fard.
