Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: If the festival of sacrifice ('Id al-Adha) comes upon a person who is able to offer the sacrifice, but he does not do so out of stinginess, is he sinful?

Answer:
No, the recommendation is a recommended practice (sunnah) according to the majority. If he leaves it off, he is not sinful. Yes.
