The Ruling on Giving the Value of the Udhiyah as Charity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The second question, the second question, the second question, may you live long. Regarding the udhiyah, I always slaughter it at home. Now, praise be to Allah, the good is found, praise be to Allah. I mean, if I take the value of the udhiyah, one thousand and five hundred, or one thousand, or whatever the amount is, and give it to a charity organization, or give it to people in need, is there any problem with that?
The Shaykh:
Yes, my brother. The udhiyah is not to be exchanged for money. The udhiyah is a recommended practice (sunnah) and a ritual sacrifice. You slaughter the udhiyah, and in it there is great virtue. The door of charity is open; it is not limited to the price of the udhiyah. Give charity and perform the sacrifice.
The questioner:
Yes, I mean, I mean, I slaughter my sacrifice.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The presenter:
Thank you. Thank you. May Allah bless you.
