There is nothing wrong with
giving meat
from the udhiyah to a non-
Muslim, especially if he is a
relative or neighbour or is poor.
That is indicated by the verse in
which
Allah, may He be exalted, says
(interpretation of the meaning):
“Allah does not forbid you to deal
justly and
kindly with those who fought
not against
you on account of religion and
did not drive
you out of your homes. Verily,
Allah loves
those who deal with equity”
[al-Mumtahinah 60:8].
Giving him some meat from the
udhiyah
comes under the heading of
dealing justly
and kindly with them, which
Allah has
permitted to us.
It was narrated from Mujaahid
that a sheep
was slaughtered for ‘Abdullah
ibn ‘Amr by a
member of his family, and when
he came, he
said:
Did you give some to our Jewish
neighbour, did you give some to
our Jewish
neighbour?
For I heard the Messenger of
Allah (blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) say:
“Jibreel kept urging me to treat
neighbours kindly until I thought
that he
would make neighbours heirs.”
[at-Tirmidhi 1943]
Ibn Qudaamah said:
It is permissible to give some of
it to a disbeliever, because it is
voluntary charity which may be
given to non-Muslims living
under Muslim rule and prisoners
of war, like all other kinds of
voluntary charity.
[al-Mughni 9:450]
In Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah
(11/424)
it says:
It is permissible for us to give
meat
from the udhiyah to non-Muslims
who have
a treaty with the Muslims and to
prisoners
of war, and it is permissible to
give it to him
on the basis that he is poor, or a
relative, or
a neighbour, or so as to soften
his heart
towards Islam
And because the Prophet (peace
be upon him) instructed Asma’
bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be
pleased with her) to uphold ties
of kinship with her mother by
giving her money when she was
still a mushrik at the time of the
truce.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have
mercy on
him) said:
With regard to the disbeliever
who is not in a state of war with
us, such as one who has been
granted protection by the
Muslims or one who is living
under Muslim rule, he may be
given meat from the udhiyah,
and other kinds of charity.
[Majmoo‘ Fataawa Ibn Baaz
18:48]
And Allah knows best.
