Explaining the method of distributing the sacrificial animal as it came in the Sunnah.

The Shaykh : Some people hold that it is divided into three equal parts, but this has no basis in the Sunnah. However, what has a basis in the Sunnah is the command to divide it into three parts without specifying the size of each part. In other words, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The most important thing in this matter is that charity is obligatory. As for the quantity, it is not fixed; it depends on the person and his need. For example, a person who is accustomed to eating little meat might eat a few bites on the festival day to seek blessing in the sacrifice, save one or two kilograms, and distribute the rest to the poor and needy. This is fine. But he might be a poor man with a family, in which case he saves it, eats a little of it, and gives charity with the rest. So, three parts, but not necessarily equal in size. Yes, that is correct. Yes, that is correct. The matter returns to the original principle, which is the absence of a prohibition. Second, there is a weak hadith in which he was commanded to sacrifice with it, but it is not used as evidence. Rather, the absence of a prohibition regarding it, and the original ruling is permissibility.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : And the absence of a prohibition, as is the case with the meat of the sacrificial animal whose ear or horn has been cut off.
