Question

who does qurbaani go to,who do you share it out to,is it the poor

Answer

In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh

The Qurbāni meat should be consumed by oneself, one’s relatives/friends, the poor and needy. Preferably one third should be given in charity; however, there is no sin if one gives less than one third in charity.

(Bahishti Zewar, Vol.2, Pg.318, Zam Zam)

And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
Wassalāmu ῾alaykum

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
