Is the sacrificial animal of the pilgrimage slaughtered outside the sacred precinct?

The questioner : Ibrahim was outside the sacred precinct.

The Shaykh : And where in Makkah, outside of it?

The presenter : We will give you the full answer.

The Shaykh : Yes, the full answer. It is better not to go outside the sacred precinct; it is better not to go outside the sacred precinct, because the scholars say that the sacrificial animal of the combined pilgrimage (tamattu') must be in the sacred precinct. For this reason, be aware of an issue that some people did and their sacrifice was wasted: they slaughtered it at 'Arafah, saying that it was more spacious, or that they slaughtered it better at 'Aqaba. And Allah answered these people: their sacrifice is not valid. The sacrificial animal is lawful to eat, but it is not valid because it was in the wrong place. Otherwise, it would be permissible for a person to send his family to the farthest part of the world and say, "Slaughter my sacrificial animal for me there." This is a point that must be heeded.
Based on this, we say that those outside the sacred precinct in al-Tan'im, meaning outside the sacred precinct, do not slaughter their sacrificial animal in that place; they slaughter it in Mina or on any other road.
