The Sunnah is for the sacrificer to slaughter his sacrifice with his own hand, following the example of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. It is permissible to appoint an agent for slaughtering the sacrifice, and there is no objection to paying a fee for slaughtering and skinning it. However, it is not permissible to give its hide or any of its meat as payment for skinning and slaughtering.
