Q: Explain the laws pertaining to distribution of Qurbaani meat?

A: It is recommended that the meat be distributed into three portions: One portion will be for himself, another portion to be given as Sadaqah and the last portion as a gift.

Q: Is it permissible to give the meat of Qurbaani to a non-Muslim?

Shaafi: It is not permissible to give the meat of Qurbaani to a non-Muslim, whether as Sadaqah or as a gift. The reason is that the meat is intended for the Muslims.

Hanafi: It is permissible to give the Qurbaani meat to non-Muslims.

Q: Explain the law pertaining to the skin of the Qurbaani animal?

Shaafi: It is not permissible to sell the skin of the animal whether it was sold in order to give the money as Sadaqah or sold for ones own benefit.

Hanafi: If one sells the skin of the animal then it will be compulsory to give the value of the skin as Sadaqah.
