Giving a heretical innovator from the meat of Udh-hiyah

Question

Is it permissible for me to give a share of the meat of my Udh-hiyah to a heretic innovator who holds a belief against that of Ahlus-Sunnah? This man is poor and I do not know him personally. I just know that he belongs to such a [deviant] sect. 

Fatwa

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

There is no harm in giving him from the meat of the Udh-hiyah based on the general proofs, which include the Hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, reading: "There is a reward for feeding any living being." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

 

 

 

Allah Knows best.
