Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person intends to offer the 'Id sacrifice before the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah, and leaves his hair and nails uncut, but then does not offer the sacrifice, is he obligated to slaughter the 'Id sacrifice?
Answer:
He is obligated, if the 'Id sacrifice is not obligatory upon him by vow or bequest, he may renounce it, unless he specified it and said, "This is my 'Id sacrifice," in which case it becomes obligatory. But before he specifies it, and it is merely a voluntary gift from him, he may change his mind. Yes.
