IRSYAD FATWA HAJI DAN KORBAN SIRI KE-55 : HUKUM NIAT AWAL SEBELUM HARI SEMBELIHAN KORBAN
Is a sacrifice valid if the intention is made before the day of slaughter, and when must a delegated slaughterer's principal form the intention?
Short answer
The intention for qurban may be made before slaughter once the animal has been specified, for example when setting it apart in the pen or at the time of purchase.

Summary
The intention for qurban may be made before slaughter once the animal has been specified, for example when setting it apart in the pen or at the time of purchase. If the animal has not been specified, the intention must be made at the time of slaughter. A participant who delegates the slaughter may form the intention when the agent slaughters or when handing the animal over, and the agent need not name the owner or form their own intention.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mereka yang menjadi wakil dalam sembelihan tidak wajib menyebut nama pemilik korban ketika sembelihan berlaku.
