Commentary

'After three days' means after the three days following the Day of Sacrifice. This restriction was in the beginning, when the people offering sacrifices were very few. The poor and the needy were numerous. The objective of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was that all the poor and the needy should benefit from the sacrifices. The prohibition was a temporary measure, with a view to meeting the demand of those poor people who flocked to the town for meat. But as the number of people offering sacrifices increased, the number of poor people dwindled. This prohibition also underwent change, as follows. See No. 4437.
