What is the ruling on slaughtering the 'Id sacrifices in other countries, not one's own, because they are cheaper?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people rush to sacrifice or slaughter the 'Id sacrifices in other countries, not their own, because they are cheaper.

The Shaykh:
This is contrary to the Sunnah. The udhiyah is slaughtered at home, and people eat from it, give charity from it, and rejoice in it. It is a ritual established in homes; it does not go outside. If you want to give charity to the needy, go and give charity; do not take this ritual and remove it from its place. Yes.

The presenter:
You, live.

The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.
