Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) slaughtered a sacrificial animal in Mina and said: "All of Mina is a place of sacrifice for camels." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the words of the hadith, "All of Mina is a place of sacrifice," is an issue of the kind that I have already explained in my books, that in similar and related matters, it is obligatory to give the same ruling. Because the words of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "All of Mina is a place of sacrifice for camels," is evidence that he has also permitted the slaughter of cows, goats, etc., throughout Mina. If the matter were according to the stance of our opponents, that it is not correct to give the same ruling in similar matters, and as some of our companions have said in opposition to Mutalibi, that when a specific thing is permitted, other things are prohibited, then in the statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "All of Mina is a place of sacrifice for camels," there would be evidence that all of Mina is not a place of slaughter for other animals. Whereas all the scholars are agreed that the whole area of Mina is a place of slaughter for cows and goats as well. As the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has stated, "All of Mina is a place of sacrifice for camels." This statement of yours is proof of the correctness of our position and the incorrectness of our opponents' position. Because it is impossible that all the scholars would unanimously agree on something contrary to the statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
