The Messenger of Allah ﷺhas explained the rites of Hajj through his statements and actions. He has taught us that getting closer to Allah through offering the sacrificial animal and other good deeds ought to be offered solely for the sake of Allah, kind-heartedly and good-heartedly, venerating the bounties of Allah upon a Muslim and upon what He has helped fulfil in terms of the rites of Hajj. In this hadeeth, ‘Alee ibn Abee Taalib (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet ﷺcommanded him during the Farewell Hajj - this is the Hajj which the Messenger of Allah ﷺperformed in the tenth year of the Hijrah- to give the drapes and the skins of the sacrificial animals in charity which he has offered and driven to the Haram after they are killed and slaughtered. The purpose of this was to emphasise that a sacrificial animal in its entirety is for Allah and so that the poor as well as the needy benefit from all its parts. The Arabic word “Jilaal” [used in the hadeeth and means covering] is the plural of the word “Jull” and that is what an animal adorns of the drape, garland, and so on. The word “Budan”, which is mentioned in the hadeeth, are the animals that are offered to the Sacred House among the four-legged animals, namely, the camels, cows, or specifically the camels, in other to get closer thereby to Allah. The reason to evidently mention the coverings and the skins is that sometimes it is presumed that the distribution and handing out are only related to the meats only. Hence, this played as an emphasis that every part that can potentially be of benefit as part of the slaughtered animal will be incorporated in the notion that it is for Allah and that is charitable and that is not specific to meats only. This hadeeth shows the legality of appointing someone else to carry out all the actions concerning the sacrificial animals such as their slaughtering, the distribution of their meat and so on. It highlights that one may not benefit from or sell anything which has been taken out for the sake of Allah, even if it is a small part thereof. It also shows the legality of placing coverings over the backs of the sacrificial animals and thereafter giving them in charity to the poor, just as their skins and meat are given in charity..
