The ruling on slaughtering the 'Id sacrifice in a country other than the sacrificer's

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also among the questions that came to this session is one from Shaykh Salih regarding the 'Id sacrifices. He says: We are in the Kingdom, and the prices of the 'Id sacrifices are high, especially at this time. My question is: We see some advertisements and papers that list the prices of 'Id sacrifices at low rates in various parts of the world, claiming that those people are in greater need. So the question is: Is it permissible for me to pay for my 'Id sacrifice, or the 'Id sacrifice of one of my deceased relatives, to these organizations? Please inform us. May Allah bless you.

Answer:
My brother, the Sunnah regarding the 'Id sacrifice is that it is slaughtered at home; the sacrifices are slaughtered in homes and are not sent to other countries. This is the Sunnah. And whoever wants to give charity to the needy in those countries, he sends them charity other than the 'Id sacrifice. Yes.
