The command to give the meat of the udhiyah in charity is reported in a number of hadiths, as was the permission to eat some and preserve some. At the very least, a third of the udhiyah should be eaten, a third should be given as gifts and a third should be given in charity.

If a man removes anything from his hair, nails or skin during the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, his udhiyah is valid and will be accepted in sha Allah.
