Question

What is the ruling on butchers mixing up or misplacing Qurbani meat?

Answer

The butcher will be liable as the meat was in his safekeeping. If a person wishes, they can claim the monetary value from the butcher. In this case, they have to give the money away in Sadaqah-they may not keep or use it. They may also choose to forgive and overlook, in the hope that Allah Ta’ala will overlook their shortcomings.
