The Ruling on Delegating the Udhiyah and Hady to a Bank and Transferring Them to Another Country

Question:
The questioner says: Giving the udhiyah to al-Rajhi and the value of the hady, what is your opinion on that? And is it permissible for the udhiyah to be taken out of the country of the one performing the sacrifice to another country?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with giving it to the government in the name of the bank or in the name of the man; there is nothing wrong with it, whether it is the udhiyah or the hady. However, it is better for him to handle it himself. If a person handles it himself, that is better. If he is able to handle it himself, eat from it, and feed others, that is better. If he builds a tent in Mina or in Makkah and eats and feeds others, that is better. If he hands it over, it is not in the same state as if he did it himself, but it is sufficient. If he delegates it to al-Rajhi, it is not a sin. The name "al-Rajhi" refers to the National Bank, the Development Bank that is handled by Sayyid Muhammad Ali. The point is that this bank, which is the Development Bank, and al-Rajhi handles the expenditure from it, there is nothing wrong with it for the hady and the udhiyah. But it is better for him to handle his hady and udhiyah himself. If he slaughters the udhiyah or the voluntary hady, voluntary charity, in another place, there is nothing wrong with it. As for the hady of tamattu', it must be in the Haram; it is not permissible to slaughter it outside the Haram. As for the udhiyah and the voluntary hady, voluntary charity, there is nothing wrong with it in any place. If he sends it to Afghanistan, or to Indonesia, or to any place for the poor, it is permissible. Yes.
