Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Ahmad says: I read a hadith to the effect that the one who is able to perform the sacrifice but does not, should not approach our prayer place. What is meant by this, O Shaykh?
Answer:
It is an emphasis. The intended meaning is the emphasis on the command to offer the udhiyah (the 'Id sacrifice), not that it is obligatory. According to the majority of scholars, it is not obligatory, but rather a confirmed sunnah (recommended practice). Yes.
