What is the ruling on appointing Al-Rajhi Company to handle the sacrificial animal and the Qur'an?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding, O Shaykh, one who wishes to perform Hajj as a mutamatti' or qarin, we hear that Al-Rajhi Company accepts amounts to perform this work, namely the slaughter.
The Shaykh : What work?
The questioner : The sacrificial animal or the expiation, which is offered in your country, and they perform this work on the tenth of Dhu al-Hijjah...?
The Shaykh : I say: There is no harm. There is no harm in one who has a sacrificial animal for tamattu' or qiran, or who has an expiation for entering the sacred precinct without ihram or for leaving an obligatory act, appointing someone to do it, provided that the agent is trustworthy and honest. If he is trustworthy and honest, there is no harm; otherwise, do not appoint him.
However, even if he is trustworthy and honest, it is better that you do it yourself with your own hand. This is the best, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) slaughtered his sacrificial animal with his own hand and slaughtered his 'Id sacrifice with his own hand. And although he gave 'Ali ibn Abi Talib permission to complete the slaughter of his sacrificial animals, that is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) included him in his sacrificial animal. Yes.
