The jurists have recommended dividing the sacrificial animal into three portions: one-third for eating, one-third for feeding, and one-third for charity. Their evidence for this is the of Ibn Abbas concerning the description of the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) sacrifice, where he would feed his family one-third, the poor among his neighbors one-third, and give one-third in charity to beggars. Some of them said: it should be divided into two halves: half for eating and half for charity.
