Summary
The Federal Territories Mufti holds that it is permissible for the authorities, through the baitulmal, to allocate sacrificial animals for Muslims. Such aid should focus on areas with many poor and needy people and no one able to perform the sacrifice, for example Muslim indigenous (Orang Asli) villages unable to afford animals. In ordinary places where residents are able, they should perform the sacrifice themselves to honour the symbols of Islam.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
