The ruling on appointing a bank to slaughter the 'Id sacrifice and the ruling on appointing someone in Makkah to slaughter the hady and the 'Id sacrifice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : May Allah keep you in contentment and well-being.
The Shaykh : And you as well.
The questioner : May Allah have mercy on your parents. My question is about the 'Id sacrifice: is it permissible to appoint an Islamic bank?
The Shaykh : Do not appoint an Islamic bank.
The questioner : It is not appointed.
The Shaykh : Slaughter the 'Id sacrifice in your home. I say: slaughter the 'Id sacrifice in your home.
The questioner : In my home.
The Shaykh : And with your children, eat from it, and give in charity as Allah the Mighty and Majestic has commanded you.
The questioner : This is what is permissible.
The Shaykh : The 'Id sacrifice. May Allah bless you.
The questioner : May your life be long, Subhi.
The Shaykh : The 'Id sacrifice: the purpose is not the meat. I tell them: the purpose is not the meat. The purpose is to worship Allah by slaughtering it. So you slaughter it in your home, give charity from it, and eat from it. As for those who are in famine in other countries, give them money. Give them money.
The questioner : Yes, if you wish.
The Shaykh : May Allah have mercy on your parents.
The questioner : Did you understand or not? I say: the Muslims do not leave their homelands for the 'Id sacrifices. If the 'Id sacrifices were to leave the homelands, this ritual would be neglected and the countries would be without 'Id sacrifices.
The Shaykh : Yes. Who issued the fatwa on this? This is from the fatwa of the Islamic bank.
The questioner : The Islamic bank issued a fatwa on this regarding the people of Mina, the people of Mina who are in Makkah, because in Makkah, a lot of meat is wasted due to the crowds and the burning.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : They saw the establishment of this bank to receive the hady and the 'Id sacrifices from the pilgrims if they wanted to sacrifice. But we in our countries, no. So each person slaughters in his country and among his family, and manifests the rites of Allah the Mighty and Majestic.
The Shaykh : And if he is not, and if he is a traveler.
The questioner : A traveler? How is he a traveler?
The Shaykh : I mean, they are leaving their country, going to Hail from Sam.
The questioner : And the town? What is it?
The Shaykh : He is coming from Riyadh.
The questioner : With his family?
The Shaykh : With everyone, they did not go to the house.
The questioner : I say: the head of the household, yes, he slaughters in Hail.
The Shaykh : Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : May Allah keep you in contentment and well-being.
The Shaykh : And you as well.
The questioner : May Allah have mercy on your parents. My question is about the 'Id sacrifice: is it permissible to appoint an Islamic bank?
