Question:
This questioner asks, Honorable Shaykh, about the ruling on the 'Id sacrifice, and if a person is unable to offer the sacrifice, does he commit a sin in that?
Answer:
The 'Id sacrifice is a confirmed recommended practice (sunnah muakkadah); it is not obligatory, and it is not required of him unless he makes a vow. If he vows to offer the sacrifice, it becomes obligatory upon him by virtue of the vow. As for the default ruling, it is a recommended practice, and a confirmed one. If he is able to do so, or even if he borrows for it, because it is a great religious observance, he offers the sacrifice as far as he is able. Yes.
