· 7 Dhuʻl-Hijjah 1432 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Q. My wife usually performs her Qurbani at home with her own hands. On this Eid, she is due to have her menses on the day of Eid. Is it permissible for her to slaughter in this state?

Answer

It is permissible for your wife to slaughter the Qurbani animal in the state of menstruation. The Qurbani will be valid. (Fataawa Mahmoodiyyah Vol: 14, Pg: 353, 1413ed, ad-Durrul Muntaqa, Vol: 4, Pg: 154, D.K.I)

It is important to note that females should not slaughter in the presence of non-Mahrams.

And Allah Knows Best
