The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Some people, Shaykh Salih, exaggerate in the 'Id sacrifice, especially when it is what they call the "sibalah." They buy the sacrifice for amounts that may reach a thousand or more. Is there any guidance, may Allah preserve you?
The Shaykh:
And its value varies according to the price.
The questioner:
It has come down to the ground.
The Shaykh:
During its days, but exaggeration and overdoing it are not befitting. Rather, one should strive for what is sufficient and beneficial. If it has more meat and is tastier, it is better.
