Ruling on paying the value of the 'Id sacrifice to an office to have it slaughtered outside the Kingdom

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on paying the value of the 'Id sacrifice to one of the offices to take this sacrifice out and slaughter it outside the Kingdom, because they are in greater need?

Answer:
O my brothers, the 'Id sacrifice is a ritual that is slaughtered in the homes and in the town and distributed among the neighbors. If it is sent to another town or abroad, it becomes charity; it does not become an 'Id sacrifice. It becomes one of the types of charity. The sunnah (recommended practice) is that it is slaughtered in the house, in the house of the one who is sacrificing, because it is an act of worship, and its reward and blessing fall upon the people of the house: they eat from it, give charity from it, and send gifts from it. This is the sunnah. As for if it is sent abroad, these legal objectives are not achieved. This is called charity; it is not a valid sacrifice. Yes.
