Ruling on Different Eid Times Between the Person Giving the Udhiyah and the One Slaughtering It

The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Fatwas was asked: Someone asked us about a relative who is in the United States for medical treatment. He authorised him to buy and slaughter his udhiyah in Saudi Arabia. The question is: can he slaughter the sacrifice after praying Eid where he is in Saudi Arabia, even though Eid prayer time has not yet begun for his relative in the United States? He based this on the Prophet’s saying: ‘Fasting is the day you all fast, breaking the fast is the day you all break the fast, and sacrifice is the day you all offer sacrifice.’ If he does that, is there anything required of him?” They replied: It is PERMISSIBLE for the person acting on behalf of another in offering the udhiyah to slaughter it after the Eid prayer according to his own LOCAL TIME, not the time of the person who appointed him, because the representative takes the place of the one who appointed him. It does not matter that the slaughter takes place before the time of slaughter begins in the country where the owner of the udhiyah is staying.” [End Quote] Signed by: Salih Al-Fawzan, Abdullah ibn Ghudayyan, Abdulaziz Aal Ash-Sheikh, Abdullah Al-Mutlaq, Abdullah Ar-Rukban, and Ahmad Al-Mubarki. If one delays the slaughter until Eid prayer time begins in the country of the person who appointed him, that is safer to avoid the differing, because the time for offering the udhiyah is broad and lasts until the end of the days of Tashreeq.
