Changing the location for carrying out the bequest of sacrificial animals
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu Hashim, says: I have three bequests regarding sacrificial animals every year. This year, I want to carry out this bequest outside the Kingdom because of the high prices of sacrificial animals. What is the ruling on doing this?
Answer:
Do not change the bequest from what the testator bequeathed; act according to the text of the testator. If he bequeathed that they be slaughtered in a specific place, in his house or in someone else’s house, then they are to be slaughtered in the place he designated, and they are not to be changed or moved to another place. If this year does not allow for the full execution of the bequest, then execute what is possible, and what is not possible is postponed to another time. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah reward you.
