السؤال :

Question

The one who wants to perform Udhiyah, does he refrain from cutting his hair from the time of maghrib in his locality or is it dependent on the timing of Saudi Arabia for example?

الجواب :

Answer

All praise is due to Allah.

There is no doubt that the Muslim is religiously obliged to perform the actions of the shari'ah based on the locality he resides in.

So, the same way that he fasts based on the timings of his locality, starting the fast at dawn and breaking the fast at maghrib, all the other rulings follow the same principle in that they depend on the locality the person is in. As such, he isn't expected to look at the timings of Makkah, or the country he originates from, or any other country for that matter.

Allah knows best.

And all praise is due to Allah Lord of the Ālamīn.
