Question

Can the Qurbani meat or skin be sold?

Answer

It is unlawful for the person performing Qurbani to sell any part of their Qurbani animal, including its meat and skin.

It is stated in al-Hidaya: “One must give the skin of the sacrificed animal away in charity because the skin is part of the animal, or one may make out of it an item that is for personal use in the house such as a prayer-mat, water bag, etc., as keeping the skin for personal use is not unlawful.” (Hidaya, 4/450)

Nasihah (Advice): Selling the skin of the Qurbani animal

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayra Radiyallahu anhu narrates that the Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “Whosoever sells the skin of his ritually slaughtered animal (udhiya or qurbani), he has no (reward for his) sacrifice.” (Mustadrak of al-Hakim, Sunan al-Bayhaqi)
