It is obligatory to slaughter the hady in Mina or Makkah. However, the udhiyah may also be offered in one’s own country. For several years, under the supervision of the Government of Saudi Arabia, the purchase and sale, importation, and slaughter of animals for udhiyah and hady have been carried out through the IDB. Pilgrims now avail themselves of this facility by depositing money in the bank through their mu‘allim or group leader, thereby completing the purchase and slaughter of the hady animal. You too can therefore easily arrange the slaughter of your hady animal by depositing the money in the bank beforehand, without risking the extreme hardship of traveling long distances along unfamiliar and unknown routes. Thus, once you have finished stoning, your next task will be to cut your hair.
