Slaughtering the blood for leaving the obligatory act outside the Haram

The questioner:
Yes. May Allah reward you. The questioner says: My family and I passed the miqat, and I learned that we were required to slaughter the blood for leaving the obligatory act. So I bought a cow on behalf of seven people, slaughtered it in my city, and took it to Makkah, where I distributed it. Is my action correct?
The Shaykh:
No, your action is not correct, and this sacrifice does not suffice, because it is obligatory to slaughter it in the Haram, near the Sacred House, and distribute it in the Haram. You must slaughter it in the Haram and distribute it to the poor in the Haram. If you slaughter it outside the Haram, it does not suffice, so you must repeat the slaughter in Makkah.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
