Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Excellency the Shaykh, this person is asking about the 'Id sacrifice: is it obligatory every year?
Answer:
No, it is not obligatory. The 'Id sacrifice is a confirmed recommended practice (sunnah muakkadah), and it is not required every year. Rather, it is done when one is able to do so. Yes, if one is able to do so and has the money, and sacrifices every year, that is a good thing. Otherwise, if one sacrifices only once, that is sufficient. Yes.
