Is it permissible for someone studying in a European country to authorize his siblings in his home country to slaughter his sacrificial animal on his behalf, especially since the European country requires the slaughtered animal to be submitted for medical examination for three days, which prevents benefiting from it during the Eid, and he will return to his home country after a week?

It is permissible for a Muslim to appoint another to slaughter the sacrificial animal on their behalf, whether in their own country or abroad, whether traveling or not, and with or without an excuse. This is established by the action of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who personally slaughtered sixty-three (camels) and commanded Ali to slaughter the remainder.
