Slaughtering the 'Id sacrifice in the sacrificer's country or in Makkah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh is not one who is in a state of tamattu', or who takes his children to his home country, or who is absent from his home country.

Answer:
Yes, that is it. If there is someone among them who knows how to slaughter, he may appoint him to slaughter it in his house. If there is no one among them who knows how, he may appoint one of the Muslims or one of his relatives to slaughter their udhiyah for them in their house. As for slaughtering it in Makkah, that does not achieve the intended purpose. Makkah is also in no need of the hady; it has the hady of tamattu', the hady of qiran, the voluntary hady, and the hady of compensation. It is in no need of these offerings. As for the udhiyah, it is slaughtered in the countries, in the houses. It is a ritual that is slaughtered in the houses. Yes.
