Question
A man used all his Qur'baani meat for a walimah. He did not distribute anything of the meat. The imaam here says that his Qur'baani is not valid since he did not observe the rule of making three portions of the meat for distribution. Is the imam correct?
Answer
The imaam has erred. The
Qur'baani is valid even if nothing of the meat was distributed. Even if a person uses all the meat for himself or uses it for the walimah, the Qur'baani remains valid. To divide the meat into three portions for distribution to the poor, family and friends, and for oneself is Mustahab. There is permissibility for distributing in any other way.
