Is it permissible for the poor person to take from the meat of the Udhiyah (sacrificial animal) that he bought with the rich person's money and slaughtered in his home, more than the share of others? And is it permissible for him to store some of it, based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: "Eat, feed others, and store"?

The agent here is among those eligible for the sacrificial animal (), and it is permissible for him to take from it for himself according to his need, just like other poor people. It is not permissible for the agent to single himself out for more of the sacrificial meat or to store it, because the "Eat, feed others, and store" pertains to the sacrificer himself, and not to the agent, especially if the poor and needy are numerous.
