The questioner:
The questions received via the fax machine before the program started were numerous, including this question from the brother Abu 'Abd al-Rahman from Unayzah. He says: Shaykh Salih, I bought five camels from a farm owner. I intended one of them to be my 'Id al-Adha sacrifice, and I sold the remaining four to others. Please note that these five camels are at the farm owner's place because he slaughters them for us on the day of 'Id al-Adha. Is my sale of the four camels valid, given that I did not take them out of my farm because I have no place for them?
The Shaykh:
Repeat the question.

The Shaykh:
Do you mean you sold them to the others as sacrifices for them to slaughter?
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
Yes, if they appointed the one who has them, and the one who sold them to them appointed him to slaughter them on their behalf, then that is permissible for them. It is not necessary to take them out of his farm, especially since he mentioned that they have no place for them. Yes. Yes.
