The questioner : Now, most pilgrims, O Shaykh, if they want to slaughter their sacrificial animal, they slaughter it and leave it without distributing it until the municipality takes it and throws it in the incinerator. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh : It is obligatory for the one who slaughters the sacrificial animal of the pilgrimage to distribute it to the people, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Hajj 22:28] [Al-Hajj 22:36].
And if he slaughters it and then throws it to be burned, his obligation is not fulfilled; his obligation is not fulfilled. He must guarantee the minimum amount that can be called meat, a kilogram or something similar, and give it as charity in Makkah.
