Distribution of The Meat and Skin of The Animal

Muslims may consume the meat and utilize the skin of their sacrificial animals and/ or give it away as charity. Consumption of this meat is considered a great favour of Allah as previous nations of the past were not able to consume their sacrificial animals. It is recommended to keep one-third for oneself, gift one-third to friends/ family and give one-third as charity. Exact distribution is not necessary. The meat, skin or fat may NOT be used be used for economic activity such as for re-sale and NOR for the payment of wages BUT may be given as a gift

    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
    Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    “Nor skin nor hide nor fleece
    shall cover you,
    nor curtain of crimson nor fine
    shelter of cedar-wood be over you,
    nor the fir-tree
    nor the pine.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “Power is, in nature, the essential measure of right. Nature suffers nothing to remain in her kingdoms which cannot help itself. The genesis and maturation of a planet, its poise and orbit, the bended tree recovering itself from the strong wind, the vital resources of every animal and vegetable, are demonstrations of the self-sufficing and therefore self-relying soul.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
