Summary
Scholars differ on this matter. The Shafi'i school prohibits giving the meat of vowed and voluntary sacrifices to non-Muslims, and treats qurban meat by analogy with aqiqah meat, while the Hanafi school permits it. The fatwa notes that in some situations the public interest of people regardless of religion should be considered. An example is a group of preachers distributing qurban meat to all residents of an Orang Asli village of mixed converts and non-Muslims, as a means of softening their hearts towards Islam.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
