Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This man is asking and says to me: A question about the udhiyah (the 'Id sacrifice). Is the udhiyah every year? And is it on account of the children, or on account of the father and mother? What is the ruling in that?
Answer:
If the udhiyah is a bequest every year, then it is obligatory to carry out the bequest. As for if it is a voluntary act, then the sunnah (recommended practice) is, yes, that it be done every year; that is the sunnah. If he leaves it off, he owes nothing, but it is a confirmed sunnah. Its reward is for him and for whoever he intended from among the living and the dead, from his children and others. Yes.
