Q: If a person slaughters an animal on behalf of a deceased, then what should be done with the meat?
A: If the deceased made a bequest that the qurbaani should be done on his behalf (from one third of the estate), then all the meat has to be given in charity. However if one made the Qurbaani on behalf of the deceased from his personal wealth, then the meat can be consumed.
لو ضحى عن ميت وارثه بأمره لزمه التصدق بها وعدم الأكل منها وإن تبرع عنه له الأكل (رد المحتار ص335 ج6)
