Question :

Is it permissible for one who sacrifices on behalf of another, with the latter's permission, to eat from the sacrifice?



The Answer :

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

 

It is permissible for one who sacrifices on behalf of another with his permission to eat from the sacrifice with his permission, and he takes his place in distributing its meat.

 

It is stated in Hashiyat al-Jamal 'ala Sharh al-Minhaj (Vol.5/P.262): 'If a person sacrifices on behalf of a living individual with his permission, does he take the place of that individual in distributing the meat, because permission for the sacrifice implies permission for distribution, or does it depend on explicit permission? There is room for consideration, but the former view is not far-fetched.' And Allah Almighty knows best."
