What is the ruling on Udhiyah for a student studying abroad who cannot find poor Muslims in the city where he studies, and is it permissible to donate one-third of the Udhiyah to the Islamic center?
It was reported from some Companions that the sacrificial animal () should be divided into three parts: one-third for the family, one-third for the one offering the sacrifice, and one-third for the poor. This is a broad allowance, and the important thing is that some part of it reaches the poor.
It is permissible for the one offering the sacrifice to give charity from their Udhiyah to non-Muslims, after feeding at least one poor Muslim, because it is a voluntary charity.
So, if you slaughter your Udhiyah, give some of it to a poor Muslim, then it is permissible for you to give the remainder as charity to non-Muslims.
There is no objection to giving the Islamic Center whatever it wishes from it, if it undertakes the distribution to those in need.
