Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A person entrusted me to slaughter a fidyah (ransom payment) on his behalf that was due to him in the Haram, and to distribute it to the poor of the Haram. Is it permissible for me to eat from this slaughtered animal?

Answer:
If you are poor, there is nothing wrong with it. But if you are not poor, it is not permissible for you to do so. By the poor of the Haram, it means the residents of the Haram, or those who have come to it or are passing through it, who are poor.
