Hady(هَدْي) Hady is the animal sacrifice offered in the Haram area of Mekke during Hac, farz for hacilar performing Hac Tamattu or Hac Qiran as a thanksgiving to Allah for the blessing of combining Hac and Umre.
هَدْي
The Hady is mentioned in Kur'an-i Kerim: 'And complete Hac and Umre for Allah. But if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals' (2:196). It is farz for Tamattu and Qiran hacilar as a shukr (thanksgiving) sacrifice, while Ifrad hacilar are not required to offer it but may do so voluntarily. The animal must meet certain criteria: a sheep or goat must be at least one year old, a cow at least two years, and a camel at least five years. The animal must be free of defects (not blind, lame, sick, or emaciated). One sheep or goat suffices for one haci, while a cow or camel can be shared among up to seven hacilar. The sacrifice is performed in the Haram area on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah or during the Days of Tashreeq. A haci who cannot afford the Hady must fast three days during Hac and seven days after returning home. Modern hacilar often purchase vouchers from authorized companies that perform the sacrifice on their behalf.
