Ruling on Giving the Butcher a Share of the Sacrificial Animal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Now, regarding the cow, does he give the food something?
The Shaykh:
No, no, it became obligatory by slaughtering it for Allah.
The questioner:
For Allah, rather, he should take it out for Allah and not give the butchers anything from it; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gifted a hundred camels, and only seven were obligatory upon him, and the rest was all voluntary, (peace and blessings be upon him). May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. That we give the butchers because it was taken out for Allah and became obligatory for Allah when he designated it. Yes. If he gives the butcher from something else, is it permissible for him to take charity from it? I mean, if the butcher takes the wage from other than the cow or other than the sheep, and then gives him from the charity afterwards?
The Shaykh:
Okay, what?
The questioner:
If the butcher takes the wage from other than the sheep and then gives him from the sheep as charity afterwards, is it permissible?
The Shaykh:
If he takes the wage, buy it.
The questioner:
He takes the wage, money for example, dirhams or dinars, and then afterwards gives them the sheep, is it permissible as charity?
The Shaykh:
He gives charity.
The questioner:
Yes, other than the wage.
The Shaykh:
A gift, but he gives the wage from other than the gift, so if he gives like what people give, there is no harm, but from other than the wage.
