Summary
In general, performing the sacrifice in one's own locality is more virtuous, since the participant can slaughter the animal personally or witness it, and can eat some of the meat. Performing it in another country is nonetheless permissible because no text prohibits it. It is done through appointing an agent (wakalah) under the conditions set by the Selangor fatwa, and the slaughter must fall within the sacrifice period according to the local time of the country where it takes place.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Manakala ibadah korban yang dilakukan di negara lain adalah harus kerana tiada nas atau hujah yang melarang ibadah korban dilakukan di tempat lain selain tempat sendiri.
