Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a person to slaughter the 'Aqiqah outside his city because there are poor people there?
Answer:
The 'Aqiqah and the Udhiyah are not slaughtered outside the houses; this is the Sunnah. If you want to give charity to the needy in other countries, send money, my brother, or food. As for the Udhiyah and the 'Aqiqah, these are rituals that are not changed from their place. Yes.
