Donating the value of a sacrificial animal to a needy patient
Question
What is the ruling on donating the value of a sacrificial animal to a needy patient? My sister is currently battling cancer and the cost of treating this disease is very high, leaving her without adequate resources necessary for treatment. My son wants to donate the value of our sacrificial animal to her. Is this permissible?
Answer
There is no objection in Islamic law to your son donating the value of your sacrificial animal to your sister. It is considered a form of donation and not a sacrificial offering.
And Allah Almighty knows best
