The Companions Eating from the Defective Sacrificial Animal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Do not feed it to yourself or to anyone in your group,” and he said, “Let the people have it so they may eat it.” Does that mean the group also does not eat from it?
Answer:
The apparent meaning of the hadith is yes, they do not eat from it. It is likely to block the means to harm, so that they do not covet it and slaughter it, or claim that it became sick or was injured. This is to block the means to harm. Yes.
