Is it permissible for the pilgrim upon whom the fidyah for intercourse after the first circumambulation became obligatory and who offered a sheep for it, to eat from this fidyah after he has given it to a poor person, specifically when invited by the poor person who received the fidyah?
"Whoever has intercourse after the first tahallul (partial desacralization) is obligated to offer a compensatory sheep to be slaughtered in the and distributed among its poor. It is permissible for the one who receives some of it as charity to sell it, give it as charity, gift it, or feed whomever they wish. It is also permissible for the one who offered the expiation to accept it, though it is disliked. The companions of Al-Shafi'i disliked for someone who gave charity to repossess it from the recipient through exchange or gift. They cited Umar's : 'Do not buy it, even if he gives it to you for a dirham, for the one who takes back his charity is like a dog that returns to its vomit,' and Buraydah's hadith about a woman who gave a slave girl as charity to her mother, and the mother died. The Prophet said: 'Your reward is due, and the inheritance returned her to you.' The jurists agreed on the validity of the purchase if the disliked act was committed and the one who offered expiation bought it from the recipient, because it is a disliking of tanzih (avoidance, not prohibition)."
