The Ruling on Transferring the Udhiyah to Another Country

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Transferring the udhiyah to another country.

The Shaykh:
I say: transferring the udhiyah. There is no harm in it, but it is better to do it in one’s own country, to do it in a country where he can purchase it himself; this is better. Even if he slaughters it in another country, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) slaughtered it in Makkah while he was in Madinah,

The questioner:
If he has a bequest with him, he gives it to these banks for two hundred and fifty riyals, knowing that if he sacrificed in his own country for seven hundred riyals, and he says, “We do not need the slaughter, nor the blood, nor anything else, nor distribution,” he sets it aside and it is done.

The Shaykh:
And it is better for him to handle it himself, and it is more fitting and better for him to handle it himself, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) handled it and the Companions handled it, and it is better for him to distribute it himself than to give it to Zayd and 'Amr.
