Giving a part of Ud-hiyah to non-Muslim neighbors

 Fatwas

Fatwas > Dhul-Hijjah Fatwas > Giving a part of Ud-hiyah to non-Muslim neighbors

(Part No. 26; Page No. 108)

The first question of Fatwa no. 11754

Q 1: If a neighbor is a Kafir (non-Muslim), but he never disturbs me with regard to ‘Ibadah (worship); is it permissible to give him from the Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) and from the ‘Aqiqah (sacrifice for a newborn)? Respected Shaykh, we hope you will clarify this issue for us.

A: It is permissible to give a Kafir from the meat of an Ud-hiyah or ‘Aqiqah, as a way of showing kindness to the neighbor and fulfilling our Islamic duty as neighbors.

May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet, his family and Companions!
