I hope everyone is doing well.  I just had a quick question:

I was wondering if it was obligatory for NON-Piligrims to offer a
sacrifice on Eid day.  I hope someone can clarify. Thanks

The general concensus of the Muslim scholars is that the sacrifice is an important sunnah, and a worship called for in the Law of Allaah. However, they differ as to whether it is nafl (voluntary) or waajib (mandatory) for those who can afford it. Some scholars have explained the different ahaadeeth on the subject by stating that the sacrifice is obligatory on those who can afford it and not obligatory on those who cannot.

Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam, said: "He who has the capacity, and does not sacrifice, may not approach our musallaa (place of prayer - on the `Eed)." [Ibn Maajah, Ahmad and others, authenticated by Al-Albaanee in Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah, #2533]

Regarding this hadeeth, Imaam ash-Shaukaanee said: "Prohibiting the one who could afford to sacrifice, but did not do so, from approaching the musallaa indicates that he must have left off a waajib, as it becomes useless to offer the salaah without this waajib [obligation]." [Nayl ul-Awtaar]

As far as I know, it is obligatory on those who can afford it, and not obligatory on those who cannot.
May Allah-u Subhana Wata'ala give every hungry Muslim enough to eat on this Eid. Ameen. Plz don't forget to make dua'a for our bro's and sis' in countries that are suffering, so the hunger, violence, pain, and killing will stop. Insha'Allah!!!
