Making intention for the person who purchased the qurbaani animal when slaughtering

· 23 Dhuʻl-Hijjah 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

This year I gave my qurbaani money to the Muazzin and told him to give it to his family in Mozambique and purchase an animal for qurbaani. They purchased a goat.

My question is: In order for my qurbaani to be valid, is it necessary for the one slaughtering to make a niyyah to slaughter on my behalf?

Answer

If they purchased the goat for you and slaughtered it during the days of qurbaani, your qurbaani will be valid. It is not necessary for them to make an intention on your behalf at the time of slaughter.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
