The Ruling on Borrowing to Buy the 'Id Sacrifice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for one who does not find the value of the sacrificial animal to borrow the amount and perform the sacrifice?
Answer:
Yes, because the sacrificial rite is confirmed. The Shaykh al-Islam and others have mentioned that if one borrows, provided he hopes to be able to repay, then if he borrows and performs the sacrifice, that would be good, because the sacrificial rite is great. Incidentally, we hear or read advertisements saying, "Bring your sacrificial animals; they will be slaughtered in such-and-such a country." This is not permissible. The udhiyah is a rite performed at home, with the household and the children eating from it. Going to another country... one should be aware of this. Yes.
