Summary
A person who is not financially able is not required to sell property that serves as a daily necessity, such as a house or vehicle, in order to perform the sacrifice. Someone is considered able when they have wealth beyond the needs of themselves and their dependents on Eid al-Adha and the Tasyriq days (10 to 13 Dhulhijjah). If such surplus exists, the recommended sacrifice is made from it, and if not, the recommended sacrifice is not required.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru itu, jika seseorang tidak berkemampuan untuk melaksanakan ibadah korban, maka dia tidak dituntut untuk menjual hartanya yang dikategorikan sebagai keperluan hidup seperti rumah untuk tempat berteduh, kenderaan untuk memudahkan urusan sehariannya dan seumpamanya.
