Giving the price of the sacrificial animal in charity instead of slaughtering it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that came in, this questioner says: Is it permissible for me to give the price of the sacrificial animal in charity instead of buying and slaughtering it?

Answer:
This does not suffice for the udhiyah. This is charity, and the udhiyah is one of the rites of worship
Say, "Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds.قُلْ إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
[Al-An'am 6:162]
So paying the value does not take the place of the udhiyah; rather, it is like any other charity. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
