Explanation

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said that any Muslim who is financially capable of offering a sacrificial animal on the Day of Eid al-Ad'ha, but does not do so, let him not approach the Eid prayer place of Muslims nor pray with the people, because the Muslim should not neglect this ritual while he is able to offer it. Offering the sacrificial animal is a great act of worship and a rite that should be observed on the day of Eid al-Ad'ha. The majority of scholars said that it is a confirmed act of Sunnah. Some scholars said that it is obligatory on those who are financially capable.
