Summary

The distribution depends on the type of sacrifice. For a voluntary sacrifice, the person is recommended to eat some of the meat, though it is also permissible to give all of it to others. Methods mentioned include keeping one third and giving the rest to the poor, or dividing the remainder between the poor and gifts to the wealthy, with giving to the poor being more virtuous. The most preferred way is to give away nearly all the meat and eat only a small portion for blessing. For a vowed sacrifice or an obligatory sacrifice that has been designated, all the meat must be given to the poor and the person may not eat any of it.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Sebaliknya, jika sekiranya haiwan korban tersebut merupakan sebagai korban nazar atau korban wajib yang telah ditentukan, maka dia wajib menyedekahkan kesemua daging korban tersebut kepada golongan fakir miskin dan tidak harus untuk dia memakan sebahagian daripadanya.
