“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked about a man who has brought an offering to Makkah during the ten days (of the month). He (the Imam) said, ‘If it is obligatory offering, it is slaughtered in Mina’ only, and if it is not obligatory; he can slaughter it in Makkah if he likes; and if he has marked or placed around its neck a tag, then it must not be slaughtered at any time except on the day of al- Adha’.’”
