Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. He says: Is it recommended at this time for me to appoint someone to slaughter a hady in Makkah while I am residing in Riyadh, and is this specific to the times of Hajj or is it for the entire year?
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed someone to slaughter his hady in Makkah while he was in Madinah. So it is permissible for you to instruct one person to slaughter your hady in Makkah and distribute it to the poor, while you are in Riyadh or anywhere else. It is also permissible for you to bring it from Riyadh, and this is better: that you bring it from the country where you are, send it with your agent, and he slaughters it there. This is better. Yes.
