Summary
A participant is permitted to take any part of the sacrificial animal to eat or to use for other benefits. Taking an internal organ such as the liver to eat also accords with the practice of the Prophet on Eid al-Adha. In the stronger view of the Shafi'i school, a participant must give away part of the meat, and giving away all of it is more virtuous except for a small portion eaten for blessing. Parts such as the skin and horns may also be used by the participant.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum peserta peserta korban mengambil mana-mana bahagian daripada haiwan korban dengan niat untuk dimakan atau dimanfaatkan pada perkara-perkara lain adalah harus.
