Purchasing the 'Id sacrifice on installment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In our country, due to the high cost of sacrificial animals and the low income of people, some government agencies and others sell sacrificial animals to employees on an installment basis. He asks: Is this action permissible in the Shari'ah? And is it valid?
The Shaykh:
Yes, that is fine. Buying on installment is fine. The 'Id sacrifice is a great religious practice; if you are able to perform it, do so. Yes, whether you buy it for cash and pay the price, or buy it on credit on installment from the government or others.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
They said that if one borrows money and performs the sacrifice, that is better than leaving the sacrifice. Yes.
