Q 1: If someone
cooks their Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) and gives from it to the relatives and neighbors,
do they follow the Sunnah (action following the teachings of the Prophet) by that or not?
A:
It is Mustahab (desirable) for a Muslim offering an Ud-hiyah to eat from it with his family, save a part of it, give in charity to the needy from it, and give the relatives and neighbors from it. Allah Almighty says:
Then eat thereof and feed therewith the poor having a hard time.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, regarding the Udhiyah:
Eat, preserve and give in charity.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
