IRSYAD HUKUM KHAS HAJI & KORBAN SIRI 4: HUKUM MEMBERI MAKAN DAGING KORBAN KEPADA NON-MUSLIM
Is it permissible to give sacrificial meat to non-Muslims?
Short answer
The scholars differ: the Hanafi school allows giving to poor dhimmis, the Maliki school considers it disliked, the Hanbali school permits it for recommended sacrifices only, and the well-known Shafii view disallows it.

Summary
The scholars differ: the Hanafi school allows giving to poor dhimmis, the Maliki school considers it disliked, the Hanbali school permits it for recommended sacrifices only, and the well-known Shafii view disallows it. This ruling adopts an approach based on public interest and sharia-guided policy, allowing meat to be given to non-Muslim neighbours known for good and friendly conduct if there is surplus. If the meat is only enough for Muslims, local Muslims in greater need should be given priority.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sekiranya di dalam komuniti masyarakat Islam di sesuatu tempat terdapat jiran-jiran mereka yang bukan Islam dan mereka itu dikenali dengan sifat baik serta ramahnya dengan masyarakat setempat, jika terdapat lebihan dari hasil korban maka dibolehkan untuk diberikan kepada mereka.
