The ruling on sending the value of the 'Id sacrifice to outside the country
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says in his letter: What is the ruling when I pay the value of the 'Id sacrifice so that it is sent outside the Kingdom to poor people in some countries, knowing that our home has a large number of 'Id sacrifices for my brothers and sisters?
Answer:
My brother, the sunnah (recommended practice) regarding the 'Id sacrifice is that it be slaughtered in the town, in the house of the one offering it, and that he and his family eat from it, give some to their neighbors, give charity, and rejoice on this day. This is the sunnah regarding the 'Id sacrifice. Sending it to the outside causes all these meanings to be lost. So the sunnah for the 'Id sacrifice is that it be slaughtered in the town, in the house, and with the family. As for the poor people outside, he can give them charity and send them a charity of two. Yes. May Allah reward you.
