The ruling on the camels that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) slaughtered during the Farewell Pilgrimage

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, were the camels that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) slaughtered in Makkah during the Farewell Pilgrimage from his own property (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
It is the view of everyone who slaughters something that it is not their property, did he slaughter except for what Allah gave him? This is without a doubt, yes. Honorable Shaykh, if a mother gives birth to a child and then the child dies at birth. (peace and blessings be upon him) wealth would come to him from war spoils and from the treasury, but he would not hold back any of it; he would spend it in jihad, or spend it on the poor and the needy, or spend it in drawing near to Allah through sacrificial animals, da'wah (calling others to Islam), and the 'Id sacrifice. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would not keep anything for himself. Yes, and among that was that he slaughtered one hundred camels as an offering to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), which indicates his desire and generosity (peace and blessings be upon him), and that he would not hold back anything, but rather whatever came to him he would spend it in the causes of good (peace and blessings be upon him).
