Slaughter is not obligatory for every pilgrim, but rather for the Qarin (pilgrim performing Hajj and concurrently) and the Mutamatti' (pilgrim performing Umrah then Hajj). It may become obligatory for a pilgrim due to a contingent reason, such as neglecting an obligatory rite of the pilgrimage or committing a prohibited act that necessitates slaughter.
