If it is difficult for us to leave our jobs, is it permissible for us to appoint someone to go to the slaughterhouse on our behalf?

The questioner : As for us, we are not permitted to perform Hajj, and it is difficult for us to leave our place of work for fear of any emergency. So, eat from the sacrificial animal. You should sacrifice it yourself so that you can eat a portion of it. It is supposed that you went to the slaughterhouse.

The Shaykh : No, that is not supposed. You should appoint a person.

The questioner : The problem is how to find a customer to appoint. Now, there is the Al-Rajhi project, which appoints someone on your behalf.

The Shaykh : We do not advise this at all, because this is a loss. I did not hear just now that the appointed person eats or stores it, and this is contrary to the command.
