ISU DERMA KORBAN: ADAKAH YANG DITAJA PERLU TAHU?
Does a person sponsored for the sacrificial offering need to know about the sponsorship, and is the sacrifice valid if he is not financially able?
Short answer
The recipient of a sponsored sacrificial animal does not need to know about it, since what matters is the intention.

Summary
The recipient of a sponsored sacrificial animal does not need to know about it, since what matters is the intention. Ideally the donor gives the animal to a person who wishes to perform the sacrifice. Alternatively, the donor himself intends the sacrifice and the recipient merely acts as his representative. A person may perform the sacrifice even if unable to afford it when sponsored or given the animal, like a father sacrificing for his young child.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Yang diderma itu tidak perlu tahu. Dalam hal ini, perkara yang penting ialah niat.
