The Ordainment of Salaatul Adhaa, Qurbaani, Durood Shareef and Zakaat
Salaatul Adhaa and Qurbaani
In the same year (the year 2AH), Qurbaani and the Salaah of Eid-ul-Adhaa were made obligatory. The following verse was revealed in this regard:
فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ
“So perform salaah (of Eid) for your Lord and slaughter (i.e. perform Qurbaani).” (Surah Kauthar v. 2)
Hazrat Hasan Basri (rahimahullah) says, “This verse makes reference to Salaatul Adhaa (Eid-ul-Adhaa Salaah) and to Qurbaani.”
