Do Muslims Sacrifice Sheep or goat for Allah?

Question

Is there scarification for God in Islam? If there is what do they sacrifice?

Answer 1

Yes. I think this tradition is coming from Judaism because Its the same story of Abraham (Ibrahim) in Islam. He was going to sacrifice his son to God but Gabriel came down and gave him a goat to sacrifice instead. So Muslims sacrifice sheep, goat, cattle or even camels once every year.

Answer 2

Yes. Every year during "Eid al-Adha" (Festival of Sacrifice) every Muslim who is considered rich by Islamic Law has to sacrifice a sheep/goat/camel/cow/etc.

Answer 3

Jews every year sacrificed sheep, lamb, goat (never camel or pig as they have the hoof thing) because the animal (which has to be healthy and perfect) used to take their sins away.  Christians no longer sacrifice as Jesus (the only sinless person ever) took the sins of the world.

A lot of islamic customs were formed in Medinna and learned from the Jews there.  Muslims today sacrifice animals for no good reason.
