Question
May I give my Zakaat to a poor person in the form of a sheep with the condition that he makes Qur'baani with it?
Answer
While an animal purchased with Zakaat can be given to a poor person, he may not be restricted to make Qur'baani with it. Conditions should not be attached to Zakaat. If he is constrained to make Qur'baani with the Zakaat animal, then the Zakaat will not be discharged.
