Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh, regarding the place of the sacrifice.

The Shaykh : What place?

The questioner : Is the sacrifice tied to the person's location or to his wealth?

The Shaykh : What place?

The questioner : The place where he offers the sacrifice: does he offer it in the place where he resides, or where his wealth is, or where his family is?

The Shaykh : No, it is the place where he is.

The questioner : Like zakat al-fitr, meaning... the person.

The Shaykh : Yes, like zakat al-fitr.

The questioner : If a person is in one country and his family is in another, like someone who performed Hajj, for example, and wants to offer the sacrifice.

The Shaykh : If he is what?

The questioner : In one country and his family is in another, like someone who performed Hajj, for example, and wants to offer the sacrifice.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Like someone who performed Hajj, for example, and wants to offer the sacrifice.

The Shaykh : No, the pilgrim, as I told you, has only the hady. As for the 'udhiyah, it is in his home country; he appoints someone to offer the sacrifice on behalf of his family. Yes.

The questioner : And like the one, may Allah preserve you, who works, for example, here and his family is in another country; he offers the sacrifice here.

The Shaykh : Yes, he offers the sacrifice here, in his own place, and his family offers the sacrifice for themselves from their side.

The questioner : He does not offer it on their behalf.

The Shaykh : They offer it for themselves, at their location.

The questioner : May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh : Because if he offered it on their behalf in this place, they would not benefit from this 'udhiyah. Yes.

The questioner : O Shaykh, if it is during Hajj?

The Shaykh : You have passed your turn.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Here, he has it.
