In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Imaam Ibn Rajab [rahimahullaah] said:
When it is the case that the original [place] of Taqwah is in the heart, then none can determine its reality except Allaah [The Mighty and Majestic], as he [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] said: ‘’Indeed Allaah neither looks at your images nor your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and your actions.’’ And in another narration, [he (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam)] said: “Indeed, Allaah neither looks at your bodies nor your images’’
[Saheeh Muslim. Number 2564]
Indeed, it may be that a person has a good looking image, [abundant or enough] wealth, prestige or leadership in the worldly life, whilst his heart is deprived of Taqwah. And it may be that there is one with nothing, but his heart is filled with Taqwah, so he becomes nobler in the Sight of Allaah [The Mighty and Majestic]; rather this is mostly what happens.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Now has come to you Our Messenger [Muhammad] explaining to you much of that which you used to hide from the Scripture and passing over [i.e. leaving out without explaining] much. Indeed, there has come to you from Allah a light [Prophet Muhammad] and a plain Book [this Qur’an]. Wherewith Allah guides all those who seek His Good Pleasure to ways of peace, and He brings them out of darkness by His Will unto light and guides them to a Straight Way [Islamic Monotheism].
[In the Aayah above, it is stated]: “Wherewith Allah guides all those who seek His Good Pleasure to ways of peace”; but it is stated in another Aayah that Allaah’s Path [or way] is one, [such as the Aayah]: “And verily, this is my Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not [other] paths, for they will separate you away from His Path.”
[Surah Al-An’aam’ Aayah 153]
Answer: Allaah’s path is one, but it has branches [i.e. legislated acts of worship attached to one path], such as Salaah, Zakat, Sawm, Haj, Jihaad [ref 1], righteousness, keeping the ties of kinship and other deeds. All these deeds [i.e. Salaah etc are legislated ways to peace as mentioned in Al-Maa’idah’ Aayaat 15-16] are under the [umbrella] of one path [i.e. Allaah’s legislated path mentioned in Surah Al-An’aam Aayah 153 and not the innovated paths or acts of worship].

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Shaikh Saaleh Al- Fawzaan [hafidhahullaah] was asked about giving the Eed sacrifice money so that it is given to the poor and needy.
The Shaikh said that this will not be regarded as Eed sacrifice, rather it is regarded as Sadaqah. The Eed sacrifice is to be done where one is resident with his children as a means of seeking closeness to Allaah. And what is intended by the Eed sacrifice is not to give money, rather it is to offer sacrifice during the days of Eed.
Had it not been the case that this is what is intended, it would not have been specified within the days of Eed. As for giving in charity, it is something one can do throughout the year. O brother! Do not change the Sunnah with the so called proof that it is better for the people [i.e. the claim that it is better to give the Eed sacrifice money to the poor], becauss such views [or opinions] do not enter into affairs related to the Sharee’ah.

A worker lives in another country and his children are living in his native country, and they are more in need than the people in the country he is working at present; is it better that he slaughters his Eed sacrifice in the country he is residing at present or send the Eed sacrifice money to his family back home?
Shaikh Uthaymeen [rahimahullaah] said:
What I see in this Specific Case is that he slaughters both in his present country of residence as well as back home. However, if he is not able to do so, then he should slaughter the sacrifice over there [i.e. for his family back home], so that they can enjoy themselves during the blessed days of Eed.

Giving Money to An Organization to Buy The Eed Sacrifice And Slaughter The Animal On Your Behalf In Another Country – [What is The Ruling?]
Shaikh Uthaymeen [rahimahullaah] said: I do not see that it is permissible to give the price of the Eed sacrifice to that organization to buy the sacrifice in another country. [Ref 1]
What Are The Religious Benefits That Will Missed When Your Eed Sacrifice Is Carried Out In Another Country?
[1] If the price of the Eed sacrifice is sent to another country [i.e. so that the animal is bought and slaughtered there], their country will be deprived of the Islamic practices related to the Eed sacrifice.
[2] What is legislated is that a person slaughters the animal himself, just as the Prophet [sallal laahu alayhi wasallam] used to do; so, if the price of the Eed sacrifice is sent to another country [i.e. so that the animal is bought and slaghtered there], this Sunnah will be lost.
[3] It is an act of worship to mention the name of Allaah when slaughtering the animal, so if the price of Eed sacrifice is sent to another country [i.e. so that the animal is bought and slaughtered there], then he [i.e. the persin] wil be deprived of this act of worship.
[4] It is an act of worship to eat from the Eed sacrifice, so if the price of the Eed sacrifice is sent to another country [i.e. so that the animal is bought and slaughtered there], then this act of worship will be missed. [Ref 2]

Abu Dharr [radiyallaahu anhu] said: “Allaah’s Messenger [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] did not even leave a bird flapping its wings in the sky except that he mentioned to us knowledge regarding it.
[Reported by Imaam Ahmad in Al-Musnad 21439 & it is a Hasan Hadeeth]
Few Masaa’il Derived From This Hadeeth
[1] Indeed, the Messenger [sallal laahu alayhi wasallam] clarified everything that the Sahaabah needed in relation to knowledge of that which is going to take place in future. Al-Mugheerah Ibn Shu’bah [radiyallaahu anhu] said: “Allaah’s Messenger [sallal laahu alayhi wasallam] stood amongst us for a long time and then informed us about what will take place in his Ummah until the Day of Judgement. Some of us remembered it, and some of us forgot it.
[Report Imaam Ahmad in Al-Musnad 18224 & it is Saheeh Li- Ghayrihee]
[2] The Messenger [sallal laahu alayhi wasallam] clarified everything that was unknown to the Sahaabah regarding the meanings of the [Aayaat of the] Qur’aan.
[3] The different levels of the Sahaabah in relation to their knowledge of the Messenger’s [sallal laahu alayhi wasallam] Ahaadeeth.
[4] Knowledge regarding the different levels of the Mufassireen.
