Paying the Butcher as a Fee
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali ibn Abi Talib رضي الله عنه that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم commanded me to oversee the camels for your Qurbani and to distribute their humps and skins after the sacrifice, and not to give the butcher anything from them (as a fee). The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: "We will give him his fee from our side (i.e., in the form of wealth)."
