Question Summary

What criteria should we apply to decided which country to send our Qurbani?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate

Regarding charity matters, such as Zakat, Sadaqa, or Qurbani, the best scenario is to give it to the needy of one’s own area.
[Shurunbulali, Maraqi al-Falah]

However, in the following circumstance, it is allowed and preferred to give to other places:

(1) To one’s relative living in another country
(2) To Muslims of another country are in more need
(3) To those who bring more benefit to the Muslim, such as Islamic scholars.

[Tahtawi,Shurunbulali; Hashiyat Maraqi al-Falah]
