Summary
The 66th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee, held on 25 November 2004, ruled that wakalah is permissible in principle. An agent may delegate to another person with the principal's permission, or if the agent is unable or unfit to carry out the task personally. Sacrificial meat may be distributed to other places or countries, but it is not permissible to distribute it or feed it to non-Muslims.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tidak harus mengagih dan memberi makan daging korban kepada orang bukan Islam.
