What is the ruling on a sacrificer slaughtering the sacrificial animal, then taking his share and one-third or more, then collecting meat from several sacrificers and distributing it equally among the poor to ensure that each poor person receives a fair share?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The original principle is for the sacrificer to distribute their sacrifice individually, eating, giving in charity, and giving as a gift. This division is recommended, based on the words of the Almighty: "So eat from it and feed the distressed, the poor." It is recommended to give the larger portion in charity. It is permissible to mix the meat of the sacrifices and distribute it among the poor after each sacrificer has taken their share, but it is not permissible before that.
