The questioner : Regarding the 'aqiqah, can I slaughter ... from Oman?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : Regarding the 'aqiqah, can I slaughter on behalf of ... in Jordan? Because there is no slaughter there, and slaughtering is difficult?
The Shaykh : Is she your brother's wife ...?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If they appoint you as their agent, it is permissible; otherwise, you are volunteering.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : As for you volunteering, that is not permissible. They must appoint you as their agent; because this is their obligation. If they appoint you, it is like appointing someone else for his sister. But for you to volunteer, that is not allowed.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
