Summary
The time for korban begins after sunrise on 10 Zulhijjah, after the span needed to perform the two-rak'ah Eid prayer and two short sermons. It continues until the end of the Tasyrik days, giving four days: 10, 11, 12 and 13 Zulhijjah. A slaughter done before or after this period does not count as korban and is regarded as mere meat. If someone vowed a slaughter and the Tasyrik days have passed, it must still be performed as a make-up (qadha).
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Barangsiapa yang melakukan sembelihan sebelum waktu yang disebutkan di atas, maka sembelihannya itu tidak dikira sebagai korban.
