Can I have my Udhiyyah animal slaughtered early in a country where Eid is a day prior to my country?
Question
Please confirm that if a person is doing Eid on Wed and his Qurbaani is done on Tue according to Eid of that country, then will his Qurbaani will be valid. Please explain as this has become a big confusion.
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
If one is having his Qurbani done in another country, then the country where the Qurbani is taking place will be taken into consideration. [1] The country where the person is present will not be taken into consideration. Therefore, the Qurbani can be done in the other country on the day of Eid in that country (i.e. Tuesday), even if it is one day prior to the day of Eid in your country (i.e. Wednesday).
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
