I have an oath to expiate, so is it permissible for me to feed from the meat of the sacrificial animal?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible to give out the meat of the sacrificial animal (Uḍḥiyah) with the intention of expiating an oath (kaffārat al-yamīn), because it was offered to Allah, so it should not be used to fulfill another obligation. Rather, it is for eating, giving in charity, and gifting. Al-Hasan disliked this.
