Summary
In the Shafi'i school, the person offering the sacrifice may not sell any part of it or use it to pay the slaughterer, whether the sacrifice is obligatory or voluntary. The poor may sell portions they receive, such as the hide, since these become their property. A wealthy recipient may not sell it, but may eat it, give it as charity or serve it to guests. Groups may help manage the process to make it easier for the poor.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Namun dibenarkan bagi golongan fakir untuk menjual bahagian korban yang diterimanya seperti kulit bagi mendapat manfaat daripadanya.
