The 'Udhiyah is a great act of worship, a great financial act of worship, and it carries a great reward. It is prescribed for the living and for the dead. It is prescribed for the living to offer the sacrifice, and it is also prescribed to dedicate its reward to the dead, because it is a righteous deed and charity, so it benefits the dead by the permission of Allah.
