The ruling on slaughtering the 'Id sacrifice outside its prescribed time

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I have a friend who draws near to Allah with a sacrificial animal every six months, outside the time of the 'Id sacrifice.

Answer:
If he intends it as an 'Id sacrifice, that is not permissible, because the 'Id sacrifice is only for the festival of sacrifice. However, if he intends it as charity and gives the meat as charity, that is considered charity. If he wishes, he may give money as charity; if he wishes, he may give food; if he wishes, he may give clothing; and if he wishes, he may give meat. It is considered charity, but he should not make it a regular habit. It is considered as if it is obligatory for him. Yes.
