Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And if he has a sacrificial animal due on him, is it permissible for him to slaughter it in Riyadh?

Answer:
No, the slaughter is not to be done except in Makkah, for the poor of the Haram. It is not to be slaughtered in al-Ta'if, nor in Riyadh, nor in Jeddah, nor in any place. It must be inside the Haram and distributed to the poor of the Haram. Yes. Yes, the slaughter and the feeding must be in the Haram, but shortening the hair and shaving are permissible. In any place? Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
