Some people boast about buying an expensive sacrificial animal and criticize those who bought one for a lower price; what is the guidance?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The exaggeration in the prices of livestock, especially during the season of sacrifices, has led some people to boast about buying what is very expensive and to criticize those who bought for a lower price. He asks: What is the guidance in this matter, and is it prescribed?

Answer:
Boasting is not permissible. But if the high price is due to the scarcity of sheep, which has caused their price to rise because of the low supply, then there is nothing wrong with it. One should buy the best he can find at the highest price he can find. However, if the high price is due to boasting, then it is not permissible. Yes.
