The questioner : May Allah reward you. What is the correct view regarding the ruling on the 'Id sacrifice?

The Shaykh : What appears to me is that the 'Id sacrifice is not obligatory, but it is a confirmed recommended practice (sunnah muakkadah), and it is disliked for one who is able to perform it to leave it off. Yes.
