IRSYAD HUKUM KHAS HAJI DAN KORBAN SIRI KE-105: HUKUM MEMBERIKAN DAGING KORBAN KEPADA JIRAN NON MUSLIM
Is it permissible to give sacrificial meat to non-Muslim neighbours?
Short answer
Scholars differ on this matter. Al-Ramli of the Shafi'i school prohibits it because the sacrifice is meant to provide for Muslims, yet he also notes that according to al-Majmu' the position of the school is permissibility.

Summary
Scholars differ on this matter. Al-Ramli of the Shafi'i school prohibits it because the sacrifice is meant to provide for Muslims, yet he also notes that according to al-Majmu' the position of the school is permissibility. Al-Nawawi states that non-Muslims may be fed from a voluntary sacrifice but not an obligatory one, a permissive view also held by Ibn Qudamah and the Hanafi school. The fatwa states that there is a view permitting it, but Muslims, especially the poor and needy, must be served first. If meat remains, a meal may be held to which friendly non-Muslim neighbours are invited.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Terdapat pandangan yang membenarkan perkara ini. Namun begitu, hendaklah didahulukan pembahagian daging korban kepada umat Islam terlebih dahulu khususnya daripada golongan fakir dan miskin.
