In the Name of Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.

 

It is highly recommended (Mustahabb) for the person offering a voluntary Udhiyah (sacrificial animal) to eat from its meat, but it is not an obligatory requirement (Wajib). Allah the Almighty says {what means}: "So eat of them and feed the needy who do not beg and the beggar. Thus have We subjected them to you that you may be grateful." (Al-Hajj/ 36)

 

"So eat of them": This directive is an encouraging recommendation, not a binding command.

 

The Qani’ (the needy who do not beg): Refers to a poor person who refrains from asking people for help out of dignity.

 

The Mu’tarr (the beggar): Refers to a poor person who explicitly asks others for assistance. And Allah the Almighty Knows Best.
