Is it obligatory to distribute the entirety of the Hady (sacrificial animal) for the pilgrim performing Tamattu' among the poor, or is it permissible to divide it like the Udhiyah (one-third for the poor, one-third as a gift, and one-third for the owner and his family)? And is the Hady valid if the Muslim does not attend its slaughter or distribution, and merely entrusts someone else and pays the price?

The Hadi (sacrificial animal) for Tamattu' and Qiran Hajj allows its owner to eat from it, because it is a blood of gratitude (dam shukran). It is recommended for the one offering the Hadi to combine eating from it, giving some as a gift, and giving some in charity, without restricting it to one-third. It is also permissible for him to appoint an agent for the slaughter and distribution.
