If non-Muslims are poor, we can give them the meat of the Udhiyah. Feeding the poor is one of the most virtuous deeds in Islam. Allah links prayer with caring for the orphans and feeding the poor.

 

Furthermore, we are told that those who neglect such duties are akin to those who reject faith. In other words, there is no room in Islam for rituals for the sake of rituals; rituals to be acceptable must lead to compassionate behavior and living.

 

Having said this, I must also point since `Eid al-Adha consists of four days of feasting and celebration, and therefore, we must always pay due attention to ensuring that the poor Muslims are helped to celebrate their `Eid fittingly.

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
