Paying Money To A Debtor Instead Of Offering Qurbani
Jazakallah, I agreed in general , Sacrifice can not be changed for general welfare of the society as a whole., but in specific cases like a person in great distress due to illness needs money, isn’t it better to give money to him or her instead of going for sacrifice? Even in history, a Sahabi was allowed to stay at home to take care of a sick relative and not join the muslim army. On the same anology, to pay debt (that incurred for a very basic need of having shelter) , and that also of a very close relative does not take precedence over sacrifice? Still have ambiguity in my mind on this issue.
