Giving a Goat as Charity: Guidelines and Best Practices in Islam

Minimum Size of Goat for Charity and Distribution of Meat in Religious Gatherings

Question: My sister is sick and wants to offer a goat as charity. What is the minimum size of the goat for charity, and is it permissible to distribute the meat in a religious gathering?

Answer: Offering a goat as charity is not mandatory; financial charity can often be more beneficial for the needy. However, if one wishes to slaughter a goat, there are no specific conditions on the size of the goat. Charity can also include smaller animals like chickens or even their eggs, depending on your preference. It is important to remember that charity is the right of the poor and should be given to them, not distributed at religious gatherings.
