The questioner:
My mother passed away and bequeathed that some of her money be used for the sacrificial animals for the festival. I obtained a legal power of attorney from the court, and Shaykh Abdullah al-Amri says that the sacrificial animals are not the best thing, but rather that the money for the sacrificial animals should be given in charity. I do not know if it is permissible for me to go against the legal power of attorney or not?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible for you to do this. You must slaughter the sacrificial animals on her behalf during the days of the festival.
The presenter:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
I say, listen, may Allah guide you.
The presenter:
I am listening.
The Shaykh:
The sacrificial animals she bequeathed must be carried out according to the bequest. Do not listen to anyone who says to replace the sacrificial animal with charity.
The presenter:
Yes, that is fine.
