Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: For one for whom the 'Id prayer is not obligatory and who did not attend it, such as a traveler or a sick person, is it permissible for him to slaughter his 'Id sacrifice before the 'Id prayer?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to slaughter it except after the 'Id prayer in the towns. Those in the countryside do not slaughter until the time has passed in which the people have prayed the 'Id prayer; he slaughters when this time has passed by estimation.
