Question :

Is it permissible to offer an Udhiyah on behalf of another without their permission?



The Answer :

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.

 

It is not permissible for a person to offer a sacrifice (Udhiyah) on behalf of someone else without their permission, except in the following cases: if he sacrifices on behalf of the members of his household, if a guardian sacrifices from his own wealth on behalf of his ward, or if the Imam (ruler) sacrifices from the public treasury (Bayt al-Mal) on behalf of the Muslims. And Allah the Almighty knows best.
