Is it permissible to give a disbeliever from the meat of the 'Id sacrifice?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He asks: Is it permissible to give a disbeliever from the meat of the 'Id sacrifice?
The Shaykh : If the disbeliever is one to whom it is permissible to give gifts, then he is given from the meat of the 'Id sacrifice. If he is one to whom it is not permissible to give gifts, then he is not given from the meat of the 'Id sacrifice, nor from anything else. The criterion for this is the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Mumtahanah 60:8] meaning He does not forbid you from being kind to them [Al-Mumtahanah 60:8-9]. So if the disbeliever is from a nation that does not transgress against the Muslims, does not fight them, and does not expel them from their homes, then there is no harm in giving him from the meat of the 'Id sacrifice or anything else. But if it is the opposite, then Allah the Exalted says: [Al-Mumtahanah 60:9] meaning assist [Al-Mumtahanah 60:9] in whatever form of support it may be. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : If the disbeliever is one to whom it is permissible to give gifts, then he is given from the meat of the 'Id sacrifice. If he is one to whom it is not permissible to give gifts, then he is not given from the meat of the 'Id sacrifice, nor from anything else. The criterion for this is the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them
لا يَنهاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذينَ لَم يُقاتِلوكُم فِي الدّينِ وَلَم يُخرِجوكُم مِن دِيارِكُم أَن تَبَرّوهُمand acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly. (9) Allah only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers.
وَتُقسِطوا إِلَيهِم إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ المُقسِطينَ * إِنَّما يَنهاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذينَ قاتَلوكُم فِي الدّينِ وَأَخرَجوكُم مِن دِيارِكُم وَظاهَروا عَلى إِخراجِكُم أَن تَوَلَّوهُم وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم فَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الظّالِمونَAllah only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid
إِنَّما يَنهاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذينَ قاتَلوكُم فِي الدّينِ وَأَخرَجوكُم مِن دِيارِكُم وَظاهَرواaid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies of them
عَلى إِخراجِكُم أَن تَوَلَّوهُمThe questioner : May Allah bless you.
