Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
If the slaughter is for the sake of Allah the Almighty, and the intention is to give the meat as charity to the poor and needy, then there is no harm in that, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "(Cure your sick with charity)," and due to the generality of the evidence indicating the virtue of charity and that it averts an evil death. Charity is a beneficial remedy that cures illnesses, so if the patient's family gives charity, the sin and the cause of the illness will be removed. There is no need to specify the slaughter to goats, for the intention is slaughter as a sacrifice and charity.
