Question

Can we distribute the meat of the sacrificed animal of Eid-ul-Adha to the non-believers?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Yes, you may distribute the meat of the sacrifice of Eid-ul-Adha to non-Muslims, as long as it is not given as compensation for services provided by them.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
