YOGYAKARTA At the moment of Eid al-Adha celebration, Muslims will slaughter sacrificial animals so that the meat is distributed to those who are entitled and in need. However, at that moment many do not understand the law of distributing sacrificial meat to non-Muslims in their environment.

As is known, Muslims will slaughter sacrificial animals, which can be in the form of cows, goats, buffalo, or camels. After slaughtering is carried out, the meat will be distributed to people in need.

Reporting from the halalmui.org website, ulama provide three criteria for people who have the right to get sacrificial meat, namely poor people who are in need and need of help, neighbors and people who live in the same environment, and the third is people who sacrifice.

Of the three criteria, it is not explained whether or not it is permissible to distribute sacrificial meat to non-Muslims. Thus, distributing sacrificial animal meat to neighbors who are non-Muslims is permissible.

The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) also allows to give non-Muslim neighbors sacrificial meat, especially those who are poor and in need. This is reinforced by a story narrated by Imam Tirmidzi, reported by NU Onlione, which is sourced from Mujahid, which is as follows.

You can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't.

Meaning:

"Has told us Muhammad bin Ala, has told us that Sufyan bin Uyainah from Daud bin Syabur and Basyir Abu Ismail from Mujahid, in fact Abdullah bin Umar slaughtered a goat for his family, so when he came, he asked, Have you given our Jewish neighbors? I heard the Prophet SAW performs: Sentiasa Jibril gives me a will about my neighbor, so I thought (my neighbor) was my family

There are other differences of opinion regarding whether or not it is permissible to give the meat of sacrificial animals to non-Muslims; namely prohibiting it absolutely and some are allowed with the conditions of non-Muslims, not including infidels. Harbi infidels are non-Muslims who are not Muslim enemies.

This means that the criteria for non-Muslims who are allowed to accept the meat of sacrificial animals are not hostile to Islam. Non-Muslims who are hostile to Islam are not allowed to be given the meat of sacrificial animals.
