Question

Does Eidul Adha have to be celebrated all over the world when it is the 10th Zil Hajj in Makkah?

Answer

No, there is no Shar'i incumbency to have Eid all over the world on the same day as in Makkah. Eid is on 10th Zil Hajj. Whenever it is the 10th in a country, it will be Eid for them regardless of what the date is in Saudi Arabia.
