The Ruling on a Person in Ihram Eating from the Blood of Being Prevented

Question : What remains for us is the blood of being prevented: is it something from which one may eat, or something from which one may not eat?

Answer : Yes. If we were to prioritize the aspect of compensation, we would say it is not to be eaten. But if we prioritize the aspect of gratitude, we would say it is to be eaten. When we look at the matter, we find that we prioritize the aspect of gratitude; it is gratitude to Allah the Exalted for being released from the rites one had undertaken. For this reason, this rite does not suffice for the obligatory pilgrimage; it suffices for the obligatory pilgrimage. If it were compensation, it would suffice for the obligatory pilgrimage because it compensates for it. So it falls under the category of gratitude. For this reason, Allah referred to it as He referred to the blood of tamattu', saying, Mighty and Majestic is He: "If you are prevented, then [offer] whatever is easy of the sacrificial animals."
And He the Exalted said regarding tamattu': . And He said regarding the penalty for hunting and the expiation for harm: "So the expiation is either fasting, or charity, or sacrifice." That indicates the distinction. Accordingly, the blood of being prevented is permissible to eat from, to send as a gift, and to feed the poor. However, feeding the poor is required.
