What is the ruling on slaughtering the fidyah outside of Makkah?

Question : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on one who slaughters the fidyah outside of Makkah and also distributes it outside of it? Does he owe anything?

Answer : If one slaughters the fidyah that is obligatory in Makkah outside of Makkah and distributes it, it does not suffice for him.
But you must know, may Allah bless you, that the blood (sacrifices) are of four categories. The blood, meaning the obligatory fidyah, is of four categories: the first is the fidyah for abandoning an obligation, the second is the fidyah for killing game, the third is the fidyah for being prevented (from completing Hajj), and the fourth is the fidyah for committing a prohibited act. As for the fidyah for abandoning an obligation, it must be in Makkah, or more precisely, it must be in the Haram, meaning within the boundaries of the Haram. As for killing game, likewise, its fidyah must be within the boundaries of the Haram, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted: "a sacrificial animal reaching the Ka'bah." As for the blood for being prevented, it must be in the place where he was prevented, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted: As for the blood for committing a prohibited act, such as shaving the head, for example.
It is permissible for it to be within the boundaries of the Haram, and it is permissible for it to be in the place where the prohibited act was committed.
