The Ruling on Delegating the Slaughter of Gifts and Sacrifices
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This method that has recently appeared, Your Eminence, regarding delegating the slaughter of the hady and the udhiyah, and what was previously done regarding the fidyah, what is your opinion on it, if you would be so kind?
Answer: What the Islamic Bank did, and its acceptance of delegations to ease the burden on pilgrims and facilitate things for them, is a good matter. And we have seen, with the praise of Allah, its many benefits. They are trustworthy, with the praise of Allah, and they have care for this matter. They have representatives from among us and from the Ministry of Justice to monitor their work. So we ask Allah to make them beneficial and to help them.
So the matter, in reality, has leeway for the pilgrims; because not everyone is able to buy the hady and take charge of its slaughter and distribution. So these people buy it, slaughter it, and distribute it, so praise be to Allah. There is no blame in that, and praise be to Allah.
But whoever is able to take charge of his hady, slaughter it, and distribute it, that is a high degree. If it is made easy for him, it is undoubtedly the best. But not everyone is able to do that because of the great crowding. Yes.
The presenter: And then, the hady or the fidyah may go to waste and not be benefited from as it should?
The Shaykh: Yes... it may be that he slaughters it and leaves it, without having care for it. So these people have care for it; they distribute it inside and outside, and great, widespread benefit is obtained, praise be to Allah.
The questioner: May Allah reward you with good.
