The answer

1. There is no text stating that a drop of sacrificial blood falls into Allah's hand. However, it has been reported that the blood occupies a place with Allah before it falls to the ground. This means that Allah accepts it when the sacrifice is intended as an act of drawing near to Him, even before those present witness it.

2. It is not prescribed to slaughter the sacrificial animal inside the house, due to the resulting defilement of the place.

3. It is not permissible to seek blessings from the sacrificial blood and sprinkle it in the house, believing that it brings sustenance. This is considered superstition and false beliefs. Blessings may only be sought from that which has been legislated by the Shariah.
