Question:
He says: Shaykh, which is better for him? A second question: Is the 'Id sacrifice on behalf of a deceased person better, or charity during the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah and the first ten days of Ramadan?
Answer:
Everything has its time. The 'Id sacrifice has its specific time, and it is better in its time than charity of its value, because it is a ritual act, whereas the time for charity is broad. As for the 'Id sacrifice, its time is limited to the days of the festival, and it has great virtue. Slaughtering it is better than giving charity of its value. Yes.
