Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I invite my relatives to have their 'Id sacrifices performed in poor countries. I collect the money from the relatives and appoint someone in those poor countries to buy sacrificial animals and slaughter them for those in dire need. He objected to me. Is this objection correct?
Answer:
Yes, the objection is correct, because this is contrary to the Sunnah. The Sunnah is to slaughter the 'Id sacrifices in the homes and among the families, in the town among the families. This is the Sunnah. As for other countries and the poor, you give them charity, my brother. Go and give them charity; you do not send them a sacrifice. The sacrifice has its place and its rulings; it is not sent to other countries. Yes.
