Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.

The Shaykh : Peace, and the mercy and blessings of Allah, be upon you.

The questioner : Honorable Shaykh, I have a question about the 'Id sacrifice and slaughtering. May Allah reward you with good. Is it permissible to slaughter it, I mean, in the country where you are, or to send an amount of money in exchange for it? To any of the Muslim countries?

The Shaykh : It is better that you sacrifice in your own country. In the country where you are, if your relatives are with you.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : If your relatives are in another place and they do not have anyone to sacrifice for them.

The questioner : It is permissible in that case.

The Shaykh : You send dirhams today, and they slaughter there.

The questioner : Are there conditions attached to the 'Id sacrifice or the slaughtering?

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. There must be conditions. Listen to them.

The questioner : By Allah, yes.

The Shaykh : It is required that the animal sacrificed be from the livestock of grazing.

The Shaykh : And these are camels, cattle, and sheep. If one sacrificed a horse, it would not be valid. Second, it is required that it reach the age specified by the Lawgiver.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : And that is half a year for the sheep, one year for the goat, two years for the cattle, and five years for the camels. Did you understand?

The Shaykh : Wait, wait.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : How many conditions have we mentioned so far? How many conditions have we mentioned?

The Shaykh : And two years for the cattle, and five years for the camels.

The questioner : May Allah bless you.

The Shaykh : Wait, wait.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : A third condition is that it be free from defects that prevent it from being sufficient, and there are four

The questioner : Four.

The Shaykh : The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned them in his saying.

The questioner : Our Master Muhammad.

The Shaykh :
There are four that will not be accepted as sacrifices: The one-eyed animal that is obviously blind in one eye; the sick animal that is obviously sick; the lame animal with anأربع لا تجوز في الأضاحي العوراء البين عورها، والمريضة البين مرضها، والعرجاء البين رلاؤها، والعجفاء التي لا

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : A fourth condition is that it be within the specified time.

The questioner : Yes. Yes. In a second question, may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : That it be within the specified time, that the 'Id sacrifice be within the specified time, which is from the prayer of the Day of Sacrifice to the setting of the sun on the last day of the days of Tashriq.

The questioner : May Allah bless you. I have a little bit.

The Shaykh : Yes, the day of the festival. And the twelfth, the day of the festival, and the eleventh, and the twelfth, and the thirteenth.

The questioner : May Allah bless you.
