Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, regarding the 'Id sacrifice, is it obligatory every year? And is it waived for the pilgrim?

Answer:
The 'Id sacrifice is not obligatory in the first place. If one does not sacrifice, there is no blame on him. However, it is recommended and strongly emphasized; it is a strongly emphasized ritual for one who is able to afford it. Otherwise, it is not obligatory according to the majority of scholars. Yes.
