Question:
Some people, Honorable Shaykh, are able to perform the 'Id sacrifice but do not.
Answer:
It is not obligatory for him to perform the 'Id sacrifice, but performing it carries great reward, because the 'Id sacrifice is a religious observance and an act of worship, so the Muslim is rewarded for it. If he has the ability, he should perform the 'Id sacrifice, even if he borrows, provided he can repay. If he borrows, he should borrow and perform the 'Id sacrifice, because it is a great religious observance. Yes.
