Ruling on giving money to purchase a sacrificial animal and slaughter it abroad for the poor
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: O Shaykh, is it also permissible for us to give a sum of money to purchase a sacrificial animal and have it slaughtered abroad for the poor and the needy?
Answer:
The Shaykh: There is no harm in this, whether it is slaughtered in his home or abroad, but slaughtering it in his home is better. If he offers the sacrifice in his home, eats from it, and distributes it to those around him, that is better, following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who would slaughter the sacrificial animal in his home, eat from it, and feed others. If he wishes to have other sacrificial animals slaughtered in a place of poverty in another country, he will receive the reward for that, because this is a form of charity. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah preserve you.
