Assalamu Alaikum If a person bought an animal (goat) before Eid with the intention of Qurbani and sold it, does Qurbani become Wajib on him and the person concerned is not a Sahib e Nisab?
الجواب حامدا و مصلیا
Although the purchaser is a Faqeer, Qurbani does not become Wajib if the animal is bought prior to the days of Udh-hiyya even with the intention of Qurbani. Therefore, it is not necessary for such a person to purchase another animal and slaughter it or after the days of Udh-hiyya to give Sadaqa equal to that amount.
