and does not rejoice in it, and whose heart is not broken by omitting it, due to the lack of benefit in it; thus, spending its price results in the waste of wealth without benefit. The situation in which he permitted it is when the orphan understands it, is comforted by it, and is saddened by omitting it, due to the attainment of benefit from it and the harm in missing it. Abu al-Khattab deduced from the statement of Ahmad, "He performs the sacrifice on his behalf," the obligatory nature of the sacrifice. The correct view, if Allah the Almighty wills, is what we have mentioned. In any case, whenever he performs the sacrifice on behalf of the orphan, he shall not give anything of it as charity, but rather store it for him, because it is not permissible to give as charity any part of an orphan's wealth as a voluntary act.

He said in the other: He divides it into two halves; he eats half and gives half as charity, according to the words of Allah the Almighty: "So eat of them and feed the miserable and the poor." The scholars of personal opinion (Ashab al-Ra'y) said: The more one gives in charity, the better; because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) offered one hundred camels as sacrificial gifts and commanded that a piece be taken from every camel. It was placed in a pot, and he and Ali ate of its meat and drank of its broth. He also slaughtered five or six camels and said: "Whoever wishes may take a piece," and he did not eat anything from them. Our evidence is what has been narrated from Ibn Abbas regarding the description of the sacrifice of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him); he said: "He feeds..."
