My teacher, peace be upon you. My question is this: As you know, sacrificing animals is a problem in big cities. There are vineyards, gardens, slaughterhouses. Also, people do not want to deal with sacrificial meat anymore and instead of slaughtering it, they send it abroad to needy people. The animals are slaughtered there. Is this right?

And peace be upon you, brother and sister… You asked, “As you know, sacrificing sacrifices is a problem in big cities. There are vineyards, gardens, and slaughterhouses. Furthermore, people no longer want to bother with sacrificial meat, and instead of slaughtering it, they send it abroad to needy people. The sacrifices are then slaughtered there. Is this right?” Sacrificing a sacrifice is an obligatory act of worship. As with every act of worship, there are slightly different hardships involved in sacrificing a sacrifice. For example, the act of Jihad is more arduous than all of them. After all, it involves death and martyrdom… Now, can one consider giving up Jihad just because there is martyrdom? Is it even conceivable to not go to jihad? The sentence, “People no longer want to bother with sacrificial meat, and instead of slaughtering it, they send it abroad to needy people” is very wrong. What does it mean to say, “People no longer want to bother with sacrificial meat”? Is such a thing possible? Such a thought or belief is very wrong; the burden is very heavy. Sending sacrifice fees abroad with this intention is completely wrong; it carries a grave burden. This intention is false. Islamic scholars, when defining WORSHIP, have stated precisely this: "To fulfill God's commands as He commands is called worship." Notice that the definition also includes fulfilling every act of worship as He commands. Worship cannot be performed according to human whims. Worship is not performed according to human desires. Even if it burdens our desires, worship is performed as commanded. Worship can never be abandoned under any circumstances, making excuses.
However, it would be good if we thought, "We always have meat, so let's send our sacrificial meat to our poor brothers and sisters. Let's send our sacrificial money to our poor and needy brothers and sisters abroad so they can benefit from it," then our intention would be good. We would receive the reward of sacrificial offerings.
Here, we encounter the following issue. While the price of a cattle sacrifice in our country varies between 100,000 and 200,000 lira, in other countries, this price is much lower. Here, a share falls between 15,000 and 25,000 lira. However, a cattle share sent abroad is 8,500 lira. So, is the reward the same for a taxpayer who sacrifices an animal here and for one who sends the money abroad? Of course, it's impossible to answer yes to this question. The higher the price, the greater the reward. We have discussed this topic extensively in our work, "The Treatise on Sacrifice." May God Almighty protect you.
