Distributing the fidyah for Hajj and 'Umrah in Makkah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh: Abu Hamd, regarding the kaffarah or the blood (sacrifice) that is due for violating the rules of Hajj or 'Umrah, is it distributed to the poor in Makkah? And is it permissible, in the case of seeking information, for you to eat from it?

Answer:
As for the fidyah that is for making up for leaving one of the acts or doing one of the prohibitions of ihram, if it is a sacrifice or feeding people, then it is to be in Makkah for the poor who are in Makkah, for the poor in the Haram, whether they are the original residents or those who have come to it. So if your companions who are with you in the journey and in Hajj or 'Umrah are poor and they are in Makkah, there is no harm in their taking from it, because it is for the people of Makkah, for whoever resides in it, even if the residence is brief, from those who have come to the Haram. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
