Entrusting a company with the slaughter and distribution of the sacrificial animal

Question : What is your view on entrusting the company, through Al-Rajhi Bank, to slaughter the sacrificial animal and distribute its meat outside the poor of the Haram, especially if the campaign involves a large number of people? And is it better for a person to slaughter it himself and distribute it despite the hardship and the likelihood that it will not be fully utilized, or should he pay this company even if it does not slaughter it until the fourth day?

Answer : Yes, it is better for a person to slaughter it himself or through an agent who is present with him, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was the one who directly slaughtered his sacrificial animals with his own hand (peace and blessings be upon him). He offered one hundred camels as sacrifice, slaughtered sixty-three of them with his own hand, and gave the rest to 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) to slaughter. Even if it is a hardship for you, seek the reward from Allah, even if it is difficult for you.
Here, some people go down to Makkah on the day of 'Id or on one of the days of Tashriq, buy from the slaughterhouse in Makkah, and slaughter it there, finding people who take it from them, fighting over it. So you can go down to Makkah on one of the days of Tashriq and slaughter it there, as some people do now, without hardship or fatigue. However, if there is hardship or fatigue for you and you are unable to do so, such as if there are many sacrificial animals and you are a single man, there is no harm in giving this company the task of slaughtering them. Because, to my knowledge, those in charge of it are trustworthy people.
And entrusting the sacrificial animal is permissible, as you heard, that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) entrusted 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) to slaughter the rest. Yes.
