Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for a person to eat the entire 'Id sacrifice or keep it in his refrigerator, without giving any of it in charity or as a gift?

Answer:
No, his reward does not decrease. Rather, the scholars say that one should give something in charity. Even if he eats it all, he should give something in charity, even if it is a piece of meat. Even if he buys it and gives it in charity, that is acting in accordance with the Sunnah. Yes.
