What is required when the time for obligatory sacrifice (Qada) is missed?

Primary text

If the time for the obligatory sacrifice has passed, the required sacrifice must be performed as a replacement (Qada). The resulting meat is then treated as meat from a regular slaughtered animal, not an Eid sacrifice. The person is free to choose regarding voluntary sacrifices. If the animal's meat is distributed, the act of charity is fulfilled through the distribution, not the act of slaughter, because the animal is considered merely meat, not an Eid offering. This is the position held by Al-Shafi'i.
