Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some people do not give any of the 'Id sacrifice in charity, because there are no needy people in their town or among them; rather, they eat it all or store it up. Is this permissible?
Answer:
There is no town that is free of needy people, but the need varies; it may be severe need or less than that. Yes.
