Is it permissible to appoint an agent to slaughter the 'Id sacrifice?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Appointing the Islamic Bank as an agent for the slaughter?
The Shaykh : This is a delegation that has unlegislated consequences, because it is known ... that one should feed from it the contented and the beggar. So when you appoint a bank that claims to be an Islamic bank, it slaughters and moves on, and it has no concern after that; it puts it in a car and ships it off immediately. Whether the car reaches the poor or the rich, that is knowledge with my Lord. Therefore, leave what makes you doubt for what does not make you doubt, and supervise your slaughtered animal yourself, then eat from it first, and feed from it the contented and the beggar.
The questioner : So what about the one who appointed an agent once and did not do so?
The Shaykh : He should repent to Allah, and Allah has pardoned what has passed, and he should start a new life.
