The Ruling on Seeing the Sacrifice at the Time of Its Slaughter for Whom It Is Slaughtered

Question
If a person wants to slaughter, should he see the sacrifice while it is being slaughtered? And if he wants to slaughter on behalf of his children, is it necessary for them to see it during the slaughter?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is recommended to witness its slaughter, but it is not obligatory, and God knows best.
