Question :

What is the ruling on forgoing the sacrifice (uḍḥiyah) for one who is financially able to offer it?


The Answer :

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.


It is disliked (makrūh) for one for whom the uḍḥiyah (sacrifice) is recommended (Sunnah) to forgo offering it, on account of the scholarly disagreement regarding whether it is obligatory. And Allah, the Most High, knows best.
