The Ruling on Eating from the Udhiyah and Giving It as a Gift

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: If a sacrifice is slaughtered for an orphan, may it be eaten from and given as a gift?

Answer:
Yes, this is the sunnah (recommended practice): it is eaten from, given as a gift, and given in charity, and the surplus returns to the orphan. This is better for the orphan: that he eats from his sacrifice and gives from it as a gift. This is better for the orphan, and its blessing returns to him. As for if it is slaughtered and not eaten, this diminishes its reward. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
