Is it permissible for the one offering a sacrifice (adha) or an aqiqa to allocate a third of what was slaughtered from three animals exclusively for himself and his family?

It is recommended to divide the Udhiyah (sacrificial animal) and the Aqiqah (animal sacrificed for a newborn) into three equal parts: one for eating, one for gifting, and one for charity. However, this is not obligatory. Some scholars are of the opinion that what is recommended is to combine eating, gifting, and charity without being restricted to a specific quantity, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "So eat as you wish, and feed others, and store some." It is permissible to eat from any part of the Udhiyah or Aqiqah, and a person may set aside one or more, or fewer, sacrifices for themselves.
