The agent slaughters the 'Id sacrifice after the 'Id prayer on his own behalf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q1: A questioner submitted a question to us, stating that a relative of his is residing in the United States of America for medical treatment, and that he appointed him as his agent to purchase and slaughter his 'Id sacrifice here in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He asks and says: Is it permissible for him to slaughter this 'Id sacrifice along with his own sacrifices after he prays the 'Id prayer, before the time for the 'Id prayer has entered for his relative in the United States, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
The fast is the day the people fast, the breaking of the fast is the day the people break their fast, and the sacrifice is the day the people sacrifice.الصوم يوم تصومون والفطر يوم تفطرون والأضحى يوم تضحون
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 697Hasan (Darussalam)
And if he does so, what is obligatory upon him?

A1: It is permissible for the agent in the 'Id sacrifice to slaughter the principal's 'Id sacrifice after the 'Id prayer on the agent's behalf, not on the principal's behalf; because the agent stands in the place of his principal, and the fact that the slaughter of the 'Id sacrifice occurs before the time for slaughter has entered in the country where the principal resides does not affect the ruling.
