Giving a non-Muslim from the meat of the Ud-hiyah

A: It is permissible to feed the disbelievers, Mu`ahad (those who entered into a peace covenant with Muslims) and the prisoners of war from the meat of Ud-hiyah. It is permissible to give them part of it due to their poverty, kinship or neighborhood or to incline their heart to Islam because slaughtering the Ud-hiyah is for the sake of Allah and an act of worship to Him. As for its meat, it is better to eat a third, give a third to one's relatives, neighbors and friends and the other third for the poor. There is no harm if one increases or decreases these divisions or gives only some of them as there is some flexibility in this matter. It is not permissible to give a non-Muslim warrior any of this meat because it is obligatory to suppress and weaken him not to show condolences and give him strength by charity. The same ruling applies to voluntary charity because of the generality of the Saying of Allah: (Part No. 11; Page No. 425) Allâh does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your homes. Verily, Allâh loves those who deal with equity. Aldo, the Prophet (peace be upon him) commanded Asma' bint Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) to keep the ties of kinship with her mother by giving her money while she was a disbeliever at the time of truce.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
