For example, if a hundred people entrust an organization to slaughter their sacrificial animals, and the company gives them twenty slaughtered animals, is this contrary to the Sunnah?

The questioner : O Shaykh, some of the brothers established an organization to slaughter the hady. For example, they buy a hundred slaughtered animals.

The Shaykh : An example.

The questioner : For example, I bought a hundred slaughtered animals for an organization for pilgrims, and they give you twenty complete slaughtered animals, not a part of the animal you own. Is this permissible?

The Shaykh : They give twenty slaughtered animals to whom?

The questioner : To the person who wants to eat from his slaughtered animal. They say, “You are a hundred people, take twenty complete slaughtered animals.” The eighty complete slaughtered animals that were not cut are sent away. So the person does not eat from his own slaughtered animal, but rather takes a complete slaughtered animal belonging to someone else?

The Shaykh : Yes. Of course, if the intention behind the word “permissible” is whether the Sunnah is thereby realized, the answer is no. But if the intention behind the word “permissible” is truly whether it is allowed, the answer is yes, it is permissible. For example, if a person did not eat from his udhiyah, is it permissible or not? It is permissible, but he missed the Sunnah. So in this case, he missed the Sunnah, but if they did not take even one, they would have lost the Sunnah, not that they committed a prohibited act that is contrary to the rules.
