Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it permissible for me to buy a sacrificial animal and then gift it to a person?
Answer:
Gifting it to him so that he slaughters it on your behalf is fine. However, gifting it as your own sacrificial animal is not allowed; you must slaughter it yourself. You may gift him some of its meat. If you wish to give it to him, give him from its meat. As for the slaughter, it is intended, so the slaughter is required.
