Watching Animal Sacrifice
The sacrifice of an animal is a symbolic expression of one’s own sacrifice in the name of God. A Muslim shows his dedication to God that if He calls him to sacrifice himself for His sake, he will not hesitate. Animals are creatures of God, and He has allowed us to slaughter them for food and for sacrifice. One should slaughter an animal only when one knows how to do this job. Otherwise, a skilled person should do it on his behalf.
