Summary
Selling received sacrificial meat is prohibited if the recipient is wealthy. If the recipient is poor, the sale is permitted because the meat has become his property. A wealthy recipient may only eat the meat, give it as charity or use it to host guests. The ruling also notes that the Shafi'i school forbids the person performing the sacrifice from selling any part of the animal.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Perbuatan menjual kembali daging korban yang diperolehi adalah dilarang jika penerima daging korban tersebut ialah daripada golongan yang kaya. Manakala jika penerima tersebut daripada golongan miskin maka perbuatan tersebut dibenarkan.
