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
