The practice of sacrifice is as old as human history in its origins, having existed since the time of Adam. With the advent of Islam, this practice was legitimized once again, purified from elements that had been introduced into it contrary to monotheism. As a form of worship considered a defining symbol and motto of Muslim societies, sacrifice has held a significant place in Muslim religious life for centuries. Given its importance, Islamic scholars have examined this practice in detail under a separate heading in their studies, attempting to address emerging issues related to the subject within the framework of the Quran and Sunnah. This book, titled "Sacrifice in Light of Current Issues," was written for the same purpose. This work is undoubtedly not a catechism. This work presents the history, meaning, and nature of sacrifice, as well as the evidence underlying its religious ruling, and compares different perspectives. The subsequent chapters of the book provide a comparative overview of some current issues related to sacrifice. In this context, we address new questions and problems arising from numerous issues, including the nature and characteristics of sacrifice, proxy in sacrifice, methods of purchasing sacrifices, and methods of slaughtering. Our study examines and attempts to reach conclusions on numerous issues, including giving alms instead of offering sacrifices, sacrificing underage animals, sacrificing through proxy, purchasing sacrificial animals by weight, and using electroshock during sacrifice. To conclude, the book summarizes the assessments previously made on each topic, and briefly outlines the conclusions reached.
