In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Thank you for your good question.

In fact, the essence of the udhiyah is to share what Allah gives us with all. That is why it is advised by the Sunnah to keep one third of the udhiyah for one’s family and to share the other two thirds with the relatives, neighbors, friends, and those who are in need in our society.

Muslims, therefore, share the meat of their Qurbani (sacrificial animal) with their relatives, friends, neighbors, and those who are less fortunate in the society irrespective of their cultures, backgrounds, or faiths. This is inclusive, not exclusive.

Allah Almighty says, “Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allah loves those who deal with equity.” (Al-Mumtahinah 60:8)

It is reported that a sheep was slaughtered for ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) by a member of his family, and when he came home, he said: Did you give some of its meat to our Jewish neighbour, did you give some of its meat to our Jewish neighbour? For I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be on him) say: “(The angel) Gabriel kept urging me to treat neighbours kindly until I thought that he would make neighbours among the heirs.” (At-Tirmidhi)

May Allah accept your and our good deeds, ameen.

Allah Almighty knows best.
