Is it permissible for a woman to slaughter the sacrificial animal?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A message from one of the female listeners, who indicated her name with the letters (M. H) from Yemen, saying: Is it permissible for a woman to slaughter the sacrificial animal?
Answer: Yes, if she is skilled in slaughter, there is nothing wrong with it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved a woman slaughtering some of the sheep. The point is that a woman is like a man; she may slaughter the sacrificial animal, whether it is sheep, cattle, or camels, and there is nothing wrong with it, provided she knows how to do so. Her slaughter is lawful if she is a Muslim or a Person of the Book. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
