The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : He insists on performing the 'Id sacrifice while he has a debt? He borrows to buy a sacrificial animal and sacrifices it?
The Shaykh : I see that he should not do so unless the man expects to be able to pay off his debt. In that case, we say: he has revived a recommended practice and done good. As long as he knows that, for example, he does not have the money now, but when his salary comes he will have it, there is nothing wrong with him borrowing.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes.
