Question

i want to know if ever we have the right to do qurbani when we have a home loan ? Do we get the sawaab for even a sadaqa ?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh

If one has an excess of money equivalent to the nisaab of zakat on the 10th ,11th and 12th of Zil Haj, then qurbani is wajib. The nisaab of zakat is 612.35 grams(52.5 tolas) silver,or 87.48 grams(7.5 tolas) gold or its equivalent in monetary value.

If one does not have excess money as explained above, and one does qurbani, it will be a voluntary act of great reward.[1]

قال القدورى فى شرحه: الأضحية واجبة عند أصحابنا رحمهم الله تعالى .و شرط وجوبها اليسار عند أصحابنا ، والموسر فى الظاهر الرواية من له مائتا درهم ،أو عشريون دينارا، أو شئ يبلغ ذالك (سوى مسكنه ،ومتاعه،و مركوبه،و خادمه،فى حاجته التى لا يستغنى عنها،فام ما عدا ذالك ) سائمة ، او رقيق ،او خيل او متاع للتجارة او لغيرها ،فانه يتعد به فى يساره(المحيط البرهاني،8/455,ادارة القرآن)

أما وقت الوجوب فأيام النحر فلا تجب قبل دخول الوقت ..،وأيام النحر ثلاثة: يوم الأضحي،وهو العاشر من ذى الحجة،والحادى عشر ، والثانى عشر ،و ذالك بعد طلوع الفجر من اليوم الاول الى غروب الشمس من الثانى عشر.

ولو كان عليه دين بحيث لو صرف نصابه لا ينقص نصابه ،لا تجب ، لان الدين يمنع وجوب الزكاة ، فلان يمنع وجوب الأضحية اولى ، لان الزكاة فرض والاضحية واجبة، والفرض فوق الواجب.(بدائع الصنائع،6/283,دار الكتب العلمية)
