Slaughtering a Sacrificial Animal for the Deceased
A woman passed away a month ago, and her children want to slaughter a sacrificial animal on her behalf. Is it permissible for them to eat from it?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to eat from the sacrifice, and it is preferable to give to the poor for the reward it brings, and God knows best.
