Is it permissible to buy the meat of the hady and the compensation sacrifices that pilgrims leave on the roads?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Many pilgrims slaughter the hady, whether it is for compensation or for gratitude, and they leave it. Some people take possession of it and sell it after bargaining with the buyers. Is it permissible to buy it for personal use, on the grounds that it will spoil if left on the roads and near the slaughterhouses?

Answer:
It is not permissible for them. For the one who has the obligation, his liability is not cleared by slaughtering it and leaving it, unless there are poor people there. If there are poor people there who take it and eat it, there is no harm. Either he slaughters it and hands it over to them, or he slaughters it in their presence and lets them take from it; there is no harm in that. But if he slaughters it in a place where there are no poor people, and people come and sell it, and they are not poor, this is not permissible, and his liability is not cleared by that.
