Question :

Is it recommended (mustaḥabb) for the one offering  a voluntary sacrifice (uḍḥiyyat taṭawwuʿ) to eat from its meat?



The Answer :

Praise be to Allah, and prayers and peace be upon our Master the Messenger of Allah.

 

It is recommended (mustaḥabb) — not obligatory — for the one offering a voluntary sacrifice (uḍḥiyyat taṭawwuʿ) to eat from it. Allah Almighty says {what means}: "So eat from them and feed the desperate (qāniʿ) and the beggar (muʿtarr). Thus We have subjected them to you that you may be grateful."— [Sūrat al-Ḥajj (22): 36]

 

Explanation of terms:

 

Al-Qāniʿ — the poor person who does not ask people for money, food..eccetera.(beg)

 

Al-Muʿtarr — the poor person who does ask people for money, food..eccetera (begs)

 

And Allah Almighty knows best.
