"And the Budn (cows, oxen, or camels driven to be offered as
sacrifices by the pilgrims at the
sanctuary of Makkah.) We have made
for you as among the Symbols of
Allâh, therein you have much good.
So mention the Name of Allâh over them when they are drawn up in
lines (for sacrifice). Then, when they
are down on their sides (after
slaughter), eat thereof, and feed the
beggar who does not ask (men), and
the beggar who asks (men). Thus have We made them subject to you
that you may be grateful. 37. It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allâh, but it is
piety from you that reaches Him.
Thus have We made them subject to
you that you may magnify Allâh for
His Guidance to you. And give glad tidings (O Muhammad ) to the Muhsinûn (doers of good)".(Surah Hajj)
