The questioner : ....
The Shaykh : ...and then, when they understood, they smiled. The point is that the hadith commands us to eat from it, and this is mandatory. As for the proportion, it is not specified. It commands us to store some of it, and this is mandatory. As for the proportion, it is not mentioned. Therefore, the one who offers the sacrifice, if he wishes first to carry out this noble Prophetic command, and secondly to partake of the blessing of this sacrifice, because it is obedience to Allah and following the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), may eat from it, even if it is only a few bites, and he may store some of it as well. As for the remainder, he may give it in charity.
