2833. It was reported from 'Aishah, who said: "The Messenger of Allah 40, ordered us to sacrifice a sheep for every fifty sheep." (Hasan) Abu Dawud said: Some of them said that Fara' is the firstborn to the camel, which they used to sacrifice for their false deities, and then eat it, and its skin was thrown on a tree; and the 'Atirah was (sacrificed) during the first ten days of Rajab.

2833 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكَ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: «أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ كُلِّ خَمْسِينَ شَاةً شَاةٌ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: " قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: الْفَرَعُ أَوَّلُ مَا تُنْتِجُ الْإِبِلُ كَانُوا يَذْبَحُونَهُ لِطَوَاغِيتِهِمْ، ثُمَّ يَأْكُلُونَهُ وَيُلْقَى جِلْدُهُ عَلَى الشَّجَرِ. وَالْعَتِيرَةُ: فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأُوَلِ مِنْ رَجَبٍ "

The popular view is that the Fara' and 'Atirah were allowed, then later prohibited. It is reported from Imām Ash-Shāfi'i, and some of the Salaf before him, that they considered it recommended or did it, and Shaikh Al-Albānī endorses its allowance in Irwā' Al-Ghalīl (no. 1181) as did Imām Ash-Shawkānī in Nail Al-Awīār. Shaikh Al-Albānī said: "These Aḥādīth imply the allowance of Al-Fara', and it is to slaughter the firstborn (animal) for the sake of Allāh; and (they imply) the allowance of the slaughter in Rajab and other than it, without distinguishing and specifying Rajab over other months. There is no contradiction between that and the preceding Hadīth: 'There is no Fara' and no 'Atirah' because in that, he ﷺ only invalidated the Fara' which the people of Jāhiliyyah performed for their idols, and the 'Atirah which is the animal that they slaughtered specifically for Rajab. And Allāh knows best."
