Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Yes, my master.
The questioner: The sacrificial animal.
The Shaykh: The sacrificial animal, Professor. If the bequeather bequeaths a sacrificial animal to be slaughtered from his wealth, it is an act of obedience that must be carried out. If he bequeaths a sacrificial animal to be slaughtered at the expense of another person, that is an encroachment on that person, so it is not carried out. If people voluntarily offer a sacrifice for the soul of so-and-so, then nothing from this sacrifice reaches the person for whom it was offered. This is because Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) said in the previous verse:[An-Najm 53:39], and because He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Riyad as-Salihin 949. As long as those who offered the sacrifice on his behalf are not his children, then nothing from this sacrifice reaches the person for whom it was offered.
The questioner: His children offered the sacrifice.
The Shaykh: His children offered the sacrifice? I have already given you the answer.
The questioner: No, it is not from...
The Shaykh: It is; not from his earnings, the child is from his father's earnings.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: As long as it is permissible, eating from it is permissible.
The questioner: The rich, the poor, and the household members eat from it...
The Shaykh: Ah, so when you say: sacrificial animal; do you mean they offered it during the festival? Or on days other than the festival?
The questioner: During the festival.
The Shaykh: The ruling on the sacrificial animal during the festival is as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:.
Another questioner : ... .
The Shaykh:
Yes?
