Sunan an-Nasai 4431 (Book 43, Hadith 71) #18964
Eating and Storing Sacrificial Meat

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) allowed the people of Madinah to store and eat the meat of their sacrificial animals for three days, as well as to use it for other purposes such as making water skins.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: " "Some Bedouins came to Al-Madinah at the time of (Eid) Al-Adha and the Messenger of Allah said: 'Eat, and store (the meat) for three days'. After that they said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the people used to benefit form their sacrifices by melting down the fat, and (also) making water skins from them'. He said: 'Why are you asking?' He said: 'Because you forbade us form keeping the meat of the sacrificial animals'. He said: 'I only forbade that because of the Bedouins who came. (Now) eat it, store it and give it in charity," (Sahih )
