Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The question, may Allah reward you: What is the evidence that the Hanafis and Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) used to argue for the obligation of the 'Id sacrifice on every individual?
And if this is the case, then your statement, may Allah reward you, that the guardian of the house offering the 'Id sacrifice is sufficient for the people of the house, is this contrary to the opinion?
The Shaykh : No, they did not say that every individual must offer the sacrifice. The 'Id sacrifice is obligatory according to what the Shari'ah has prescribed. They did not say that every individual must offer it. For example, the people of the house must offer the sacrifice, but it is not necessary that every individual offers it. They do not intend this.
The questioner : So does the opinion require that one must offer the sacrifice, or that there is someone who offers it on his behalf?
The Shaykh : It is not a condition that every individual offers the sacrifice. Rather, we said: that every individual offers the sacrifice is contrary to the Sunnah. But they say: that the people of this house, as long as they are able, cannot leave the 'Id sacrifice. They must offer it?
The questioner : And what is their evidence?
The Shaykh : They have evidence and discussions, but this is not the place for them, because only minutes remain now. However, refer to our book, *The 'Id Sacrifice and Ritual Slaughter*. In it, if Allah wills, is sufficient. Yes.
