What is the Shar'ee ruling of having one's Qurbaani (sacrificial animal)done in a foreign country?

Answer

In order to personally experience the spirit and essence of Qurbaani, it should be done locally. However, since our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world suffer poverty and hunger, we should also consider them and have our Qurbaani done there as well.
