Question

Is Qurbani necessary for a person travelling?

Answer

It is not necessary for a Musafir (traveller) to perform Qurbani. A Musafir is one who travels on a journey for 78 km or more and does not intend to reside at their destination for 15 or more days. In any case, if a Musafir does perform Qurbani, they will be rewarded for it.
