Question:

Salaam is there discussion regarding udhiya done before the persons Eid ( especially when the Eid date differs from the persons date)?

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:

If someone arranges for their Qurbani to be performed in another country, the timing of the Qurbani will follow the calendar of the country where the sacrifice is taking place. The individual’s local calendar is not considered in this case. Consequently, the Qurbani can be carried out in the other country on their Eid day, even if it falls a day before Eid in the individual’s home country.

«العناية شرح الهداية – بهامش فتح القدير ط الحلبي» (9/ 512):

«ثُمَّ ‌الْمُعْتَبَرُ ‌فِي ‌ذَلِكَ ‌مَكَانُ ‌الْأُضْحِيَّةِ، حَتَّى لَوْ كَانَتْ فِي السَّوَادِ وَالْمُضَحِّي فِي الْمِصْرِ يَجُوزُ كَمَا انْشَقَّ الْفَجْرُ، وَلَوْ كَانَ عَلَى الْعَكْسِ لَا يَجُوزُ إلَّا بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ»

«حاشية ابن عابدين = رد المحتار ط الحلبي» (6/ 318):

«قَوْلُهُ وَالْمُعْتَبَرُ مَكَانُ الْأُضْحِيَّةَ إلَخْ) ‌فَلَوْ ‌كَانَتْ ‌فِي ‌السَّوَادِ ‌وَالْمُضَحِّي ‌فِي الْمِصْرِ جَازَتْ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ، وَفِي الْعَكْسِ لَمْ تَجُزْ قُهُسْتَانِيٌ»
