The Ruling on Selling the Skin of the Sacrificial Animal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: In the present time, many people do not care about the skin taken from the sacrificial animal, and they do not take it from the butcher, even though the butcher sells the skin for approximately fifty riyals. Is it obligatory for me to take it from him, even though I do not benefit from it, and the poor people do not take it from me?
The Shaykh:
If you paid for it, it is not permissible for the owner of the sacrifice to sell it. The owner of the sacrifice does not sell the skin. The owner of the sacrifice does not sell the skin. However, if he gave it to someone else, the one who took it—since he was given it—owns it. It is permissible for him to sell it. It is permissible for him to sell it because he owns it through the gift. The only one prevented from selling it is the one who performed the sacrifice himself. Yes.
The presenter:
(peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh:
I gave the skin in charity to a poor person, and he sold it. There is no harm in that. Yes.
