Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Said ibn al-
Musayyab said, "If someone dedicates an animal voluntarily and then it
is injured and he kills it and gives everyone a free hand in eating
it, he owes nothing. If, however, he eats some of it himself, or tells
certain other people to eat it, then he owes compensation."
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 158
