The ruling on one who forgets to slaughter the sacrificial animal of the combined pilgrimage

Question: A man intended to perform the combined pilgrimage (qiran) during Hajj, but he did not slaughter the sacrificial animal because he was unaware of the requirement. After a long time, he remembered that he owed the sacrificial animal. What is obligatory for him?


Answer: He has to slaughter the sacrificial animal as soon as he learns of it, whether in Makkah or Mina. There is nothing wrong with him, his family, and his companions eating from it.
