The Answer :

All praise is due to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.

The following conditions apply to the portion distributed to the poor from the sacrificial animal:

First: It must be meat — it isn`t valid to give the poor organs or offal such as the liver.

Second: It must be given raw — cooked meat does not fulfil the requirement.

Third: It must amount to no less than half a kilogram. And Allah Almighty knows best.
