The recent institutional practice of the sacrifice of animals among Muslims living in Europe gives the opportunity for thinking about the anthropological status of the sacrifice from the reading of the islamic lawsmaking texts. The notion of "sacrifice" is here exposed in various ways and the terminology shows to be instructive, in particular for the converting period to islam of society of Bedouin breeders. The position of the ritual among the recommendations and the obligations of the religion leads to distinguish different kinds of "sacrifices" and sets a series of questions about allowable and for bidden for example. Moreover these questions are connected to interrogations about the ritual process of the sacrifice itself: when does the sacrifice take place? which kind of animal is chosen? who "sacrifices" and which way? what will become of the sacrificed animal? etc. Two conclusions emerge from the analysis: all the islamie rituals related to the slaughtering of animals cannot be described as sacrificial in the anthropological meaning of the word. And in the cases for which they are sacrifical, the religions functions that can be assigned to them don't appear clearly: communion, expiation, memorial, propitiation? Their social or even political functions of identity nature in the European context are waiting for new analysis
