What are the conditions for slaughtering for one who owes a sacrificial animal?

Question:
The questioner says: A person who owes a sacrificial animal but does not know how to distribute it in Makkah, what should he do? Is distributing it to the poor of Makkah a condition? Is it permissible to slaughter outside of Makkah?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to slaughter outside of Makkah. The slaughter must take place in the Haram, and the distribution must be to the poor of the Haram, the poor present in the Haram, whether they are residents of the Haram or visitors coming to it. As long as they are poor, give to them and distribute the meat to them. It is not permissible to slaughter outside the Haram. However, if you are unable to slaughter financially, if you have no money, fast for ten days. After Ramadan, you fast for ten days after Ramadan in any place; it is not specific to Makkah. Fasting is permissible in any place, even if you return to your family. As for the slaughter, it must be in Makkah. Yes.
