Is it better to perform the 'Id sacrifice or to give its value in charity during a time of scarcity?

Question : And based on this, it is asked: Is it better to perform the sacrifice or to give charity during a time of scarcity?

Answer : Yes, we say that removing dire necessity is obligatory. However, there is still a burden on the soul even in this situation, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his Companions one day, or rather in one year according to the more correct view, not to keep the meat of the sacrifices for more than three days. He did not permit them to buy food with its value to give in charity to the poor or the needy. Rather, he said, "Sacrifice," and then ordered them not to keep it for more than three days. In the second year, he permitted them to keep it for more than three days, and he said, "I only forbade you from keeping it because of the hardship that struck you," meaning because of the need that arose.
