Summary
In the Shafi'i school, a sacrifice becomes obligatory through a vow or designation (ta'yin), and the person and his dependants may not take any of the meat. The Johor Fatwa Committee adopts a reconciling approach (taufiq) that draws on the Hanbali view permitting consumption. A person in need may take a reasonable amount, while one who is not in need should take none at all. Those who firmly hold to the Shafi'i position are not wrong to do so, but should also respect this fatwa for the public good.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mengikut mazhab syafie qurban menjadi wajib dengan sebab nazar dan ta'yin.
