In cities and towns where Friday and Eid prayers are permissible, it is not permissible to sacrifice before Eid prayers. If someone kills his sacrifice before the Eid prayer, another animal sacrifice is required for him; Of course, in small villages where Friday and Eid prayers aren’t allowed, people can slaughter their sacrifices on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah after dawn. Also, if the Eid prayer isn’t offered on the first day due to some excuse, after the time of prayer, people can slaughter their sacrifices.
