Subject : Islamic Ruling on Purchasing Meat and Distributing it with the Intention of an Udhiyah
Fatwa Number : 4388
Date : 31-03-2026
Classified : Aqeeqah, Udhihiah and other Slaughtered Animals
Fatwa Type : Summarized Fatawaa

Question :

Does buying meat equivalent to the weight of a slaughtered animal and distributing it avail for an udhiyah?



The Answer :

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

 

That does not avail for the sacrifice (uḍḥiyyah), because the sacrifice necessarily requires slaughtering an animal from the category of anʿām (camels, cattle, and sheep/goats) within a specified time.

 

Rather, that is considered a form of charity (ṣadaqah) for which one is rewarded. And Allah Almighty knows best.
