without any need, is like the one putting flames into the mouth.’ (Shu’ab-ul-Īmān, vol. 3, pp. 271, Ḥadīš 3517)
When chopping the meat of the sacrificed animal, the butcher at times secretly hides a fine round piece of meat in his basket, which is an obvious act of theft. Asking for it without the permission of the Sharī’aĥ is also wrong. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, ‘The one who asks people (for something) in order to increase his wealth, asks for flames. Now, it is up to him whether he accumulates more or less flames.’ (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, pp. 518, Ḥadīš 1041)
However, if the meat is being distributed among people and the butcher also takes it, then there is no harm.
Every such part of the meat that is used in normal days should also be used during the days of Qurbānī. To distribute the lungs and fat etc., along with meat having cut them into pieces is appropriate. These kinds of things should not be thrown away. If you do not want to eat or distribute such items with meat, call some needy Muslim and give these things to him or alternatively you can also ask someone to give them to a needy person. It is safer that you give them to some Muslim yourself. Remember the following ruling: It is not permissible to give even a single portion of the sacrificial meat to non-Muslim sweepers etc., let alone the skin!
