IRSYAD HUKUM HAJI DAN KORBAN SIRI 7: HUKUM MENYIMPAN DAGING KORBAN LEBIH DARI 3 HARI
Is it permissible to keep sacrificial meat for more than three days, given the hadith that prohibits it?
Short answer
Scholars hold two views: some forbid storing the meat beyond three days, while the majority permit it because the prohibition was abrogated.

Summary
Scholars hold two views: some forbid storing the meat beyond three days, while the majority permit it because the prohibition was abrogated. The fatwa regards the second view as more accurate. The original ban was tied to a period of famine, aimed at helping the needy, and was later lifted when the Prophet allowed the meat to be stored.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
