The Ruling on Eating the 'Id Sacrifice on Behalf of an Orphan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a person slaughters an animal from the 'Id sacrifice for an orphan, may he eat from it and give it to him?
Answer:
Yes, this is the Sunnah (recommended practice) regarding it. He should feed from it, provide a meal from it, and give charity from it, and he should return to the orphan before that. This is better for the orphan: that he is fed from his 'Id sacrifice and provided a meal from it is better for the orphan, and he should return to him before that, and its blessing returns to him. As for if it is offered but not eaten, this diminishes its reward.
