"What should we do in a country that prohibits slaughtering? And is it permissible to donate the price of the sacrificial animal? "

"Praise be to Allah.

If it is difficult to sacrifice the offering or Aqeeqah in your place of residence, it is preferable to send money to someone who can perform the sacrifice on your behalf in another country where there are family or needy. This is because sacrificing the offering or Aqeeqah is more appropriate than giving its price in charity. It is better to sacrifice in your own country if your family is with you. If your family is in another place and they do not have someone to sacrifice for them, then send them money so they can perform the sacrifice there."
