[Q-ID0577] I want to make an animal sacrifice for an oath that was fulfilled – who can eat the meat from this sacrifice?
Question
What do the scholars and muftis of the noble Shari’ah say regarding this matter; When one takes an oath that if Allah was to fulfil one of his desires then one would sacrifice an animal in his way. The oath therefore is obligatory (Wajib) when the desire has been fulfilled. Who is eligible to eat the meat of the animal that has been sacrificed? Questioner: A brother from UK
Answer
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
الجواب بعون الملک الوھاب اللھم ھدایۃ الحق والصواب
The sadaqah of an oath is obligatory (Wajib). Only those that are eligible for Zakat can consume the meat of this animal.
