The questioner mentions that he has children and says, “I did not perform the sacrifice of the amulets, as we call them, because I was unable to obtain the amount of money to do so.”

The questioner : In his last question, he mentions, O honorable Shaykh, that he has children and says, “I did not perform the sacrifice of the amulets, as we call them, because I was unable to obtain the amount of money to do so. And as you know, it is not permissible to slaughter with debt or credit. So what should I do? Please advise us, may you be rewarded?”

The Shaykh : You owe nothing as long as you are unable to perform this act, because Allah the Exalted says in His Book: And He the Mighty and Majestic says: And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So if a person is poor when his children are born, he owes no amulet because he is incapable, and acts of worship are dropped when one is incapable of performing them.
