Sacrifice before the Eid prayer

Question

If the sacrificial animals are sacrificed before the Eid prayer, is such a sacrifice valid or not? Or must another animal be sacrificed in its place?

Answer

It is not valid; he should sacrifice again after the Eid prayer. Where the Eid prayer is not held, such as in a village, it is valid even after true dawn (subh sadiq).
