The increase in the number of sacrificial animals in Hajj and the resulting surplus: Is there any harm in delaying the payment of one’s fidyah (ransom payment) beyond the days of Hajj?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Shaykh Salih, the number of pilgrims in recent years has reached millions, and consequently, the number of sacrificial animals has increased. Who is the one whose animal is an udhiyah (the 'Id sacrifice), who is the one whose is a fidyah (ransom payment), and who is the one whose is hady (the sacrificial animal of the pilgrimage)? And with this, the surplus of these sacrificial animals has increased, or the need for them has decreased. Is there any harm if a person delays his fidyah (ransom payment) beyond the days of Hajj?

Answer:
The days of slaughter are limited. They are limited to the day of 'Id and the three days following it, until the sunset of the thirteenth day. This entire period is the time for slaughter. It is not necessary to slaughter the animal in Mina; if he slaughters it in any of the villages of Makkah or in Makkah itself and distributes it to the poor there, that is good. Also, it is not necessary for him to slaughter it on the day of 'Id. If he slaughters it on the eleventh, twelfth, or thirteenth day, that is all permissible, praise be to Allah. He may delay it until after his stay in Mina on the eleventh and twelfth days, and then descend on the thirteenth day and slaughter it in Makkah, distributing it to the poor in Makkah. He will find poor people there to take it. Also, in recent times, when the project for utilizing meat was established...

The presenter:
Praise be to Allah. As for hady (the sacrificial animal of the pilgrimage) and udhiyah (the 'Id sacrifice). Hady, yes. Udhiyah, no. Hady, yes, yes. If he gives the money to this project and appoints them to slaughter his hady (the sacrificial animal of the pilgrimage), care for its meat, and distribute it to those in need, that suffices him. However, it is better and more complete for him to slaughter his hady (the sacrificial animal of the pilgrimage) himself and distribute it. Yes.
