Q: A person was a Musafir on 10, 11, and 12of Zul Hijjah. However, before sunset on 12 Zul Hijjah he returned home. Will Qurbani be Wajib upon him? Similarly, if a person upon whom Qurbani was not Wajib received some money which equals the Nisab amount just before sunset of 12 Zul Hijjah, will Qurbani be Wajib upon him?
