Summary
Eating the meat of a sacrificial animal offered under a vow whose wish has not been fulfilled is permissible. The obligation to fulfil a vow depends on the vowed matter actually being achieved, so if it has not, the sacrifice counts as a voluntary (sunnah) one. By contrast, if the vow's wish has been fulfilled, the whole animal must be given to the poor and needy, and the person offering it may not eat from it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Korban yang dilakukan oleh saudara yang bertanya tersebut menjadi korban yang sunat dan harus untuk dia memakan sebahagian daripada daging korban yang dilakukannya tersebut.
