Paying for the 'Id sacrifice with money
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, he says: Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to pay for the 'Id sacrifice with money?
Answer:
No, it does not count as an 'Id sacrifice. Giving money in charity is recommended, but it does not count as an 'Id sacrifice; it is only a charity. This is because the 'Id sacrifice is a religious rite that brings one closer to Allah through the offering. Slaughtering the 'Id sacrifice is required. So if one wants the reward, one must carry it out, slaughter it, eat from it, give it in charity, and give it as a gift. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
