Authorizing banks to slaughter and distribute the sacrifice instead of performing it oneself

Question:
If he has a bequest, he gives it to the banks for two hundred and fifty riyals, knowing that if he sacrificed in his own country, it would cost seven hundred riyals. He says: We do not need the slaughter, the blood, or anything else, nor the distribution; it arrives and it is done.
Answer:
It is better for him to perform it himself, and it is more established and better for him to perform it himself, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed it and the Companions performed it. It is better for him to distribute it himself than to give it to Zayd and 'Amr.
