Is it permissible to buy imported meats—while adhering to the opinion that they are unlawful—and give them to a charity to distribute to the needy?
The matter is based on considering the belief of the doer or the one for whom the action is done. If the questioner believes a certain meat to be forbidden, he is not obligated to condemn someone who eats it. However, it is not permissible for him to buy it and give it as charity to someone who believes it to be permissible, because he is responsible for his own belief. The summary is that he should refrain from buying this meat which he believes to be forbidden, and he can donate its price or buy what he considers to be permissible.
