Damm What is Damm? How to Give/Pay Damm for Umrah & Hajj
What is Damm?
The term Damm refers to an obligatory expiation or penalty during the period of Hajj and Umrah if the pilgrim has committed a violation of the pilgrim regulations.
Damm can be translated to sacrificial compensation in English, and it typically refers to the slaughter of an animal (Damm animal) to expiate the sins committed during the rituals.
Damm Meaning and Definition
Islamic jurisprudence defines the word Damm to mean the slaughter of a goat or a sheep, or contributing to the sacrifice of a larger animal like a camel or a cow as an atonement for certain infractions. The sacrifice has to be done within Makkah and then given to the poor.
Damm serves to remind one that one has to comply with the regulations stipulated to undertake Hajj and Umrah, emphasizing obedience and humility to Allah.
Allah SWT says in the Quran:
وَأَتِمُّوا۟ ٱلْحَجَّ وَٱلْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ ۚ فَإِنْ أُحْصِرْتُمْ فَمَا ٱسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ ٱلْهَدْىِ (البقرة: ١٩٦)
“And complete the Hajj and Umrah for Allah. But if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:196)
