An excerpt from the following link: http://www.sunnipath.com/resources/Questions/qa00000655.aspx In a 'Hadith' it is stated: Hazrat Hanash may Allah be pleased with him reported: I saw Hazrat Ali may Allah be pleased with him sacrificing two rams. I asked him, "What is this?" He said: "Verily the Messenger of Allah peace and blessings be upon him left instruction to me to sacrifice on his behalf, and so I am sacrificing on his behalf. (Tirmizi, Abu Daud) Note: Rasulullah peace and blessings be upon him is so generous that he had sacrificed on behalf of his whole 'Ummah' and we see here Hazrat Ali may Allah be pleased with him sacrificing for Rasulullah peace and blessings be upon him after he has passed away. We learn from this that we should also put a share of Rasulullah peace and blessings be upon him in our sacrifice.
Asalamu'alykum We are blessed in Bradford that during this blessed month of Haj we have a radio station that runs over the first two weeks. However as the radio station tries to have an "all are welcome" policy we end up regularly having to endure speeches by the twisted ones. This indeed creates confusion in many peoples minds. On one occasion a scholar mentioned that sacrifice is only for Allah and it is shirk if it is does for anyone else. I would therefore be grateful if someone could clarify the daleel for the qurbaani that takes place at the darbaar of the Awliya Allah and on the occasion of giyarwee as a few people are confused on this issue. Also is the hadith where a Sahabi is reported to have said Fidaka ummi wa abi sound. The reason being that as I have already mentioned the Mulla was intent on proving sacrifice for anyone other than Allah is shirk. Wasalaam
