hukum lembu yang diberi ahli parlimen
Is it permissible for a cow given by a Member of Parliament for qurbani to be shared among the public at a price below the market rate, such as RM200 per share?
Short answer
The ruling depends on the intention and the method. If the Member of Parliament intends to gift the cow to seven people, one share each, this is permitted, but it is not appropriate to collect RM200 per share.

Summary
The ruling depends on the intention and the method. If the Member of Parliament intends to gift the cow to seven people, one share each, this is permitted, but it is not appropriate to collect RM200 per share. If the intention is to sell, charging RM200 is allowed as it is treated as a sale. If the giver only intends to appoint the recipients as agents to slaughter, this is also permitted without any payment.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika diniatkan untuk dijual, maka dibenarkan ahli Parlimen mengenakan bayaran RM200 kerana dianggap sebagai jual beli.
