I didn't do qurban (قربان) yet, but yes I do sadaqah. In fact of Sunnah that any Muslim around mosque, no matter he is rich or poor, anyone got qurban include my family. But in personal reason that we think we are living enough food and money, living a better life than my parent when they didn't get any qurban, I decided to give them all qurban meat that I have.

Is it allow by Islam?

  • Please clarify one thing, you said you didn't did qurban, and you gave all qurban meat to your parents... how you gave qurban meat to your parents when you didn' did qurban. Was it meat which came from other muslims who did qurban? – Zia Ul Rehman Mughal Jun 30 '16 at 15:45

In regards to your question

Gave qurban to parent

I found a hadith from Imam Baqir (امام الباقر) (a.s.) that said:

Commonly, Imam Ali (علیه السلام) didn't use to eat at ًQurban Day in order to eat from his Qurbani's meat. / من لا یحضره الفقیه - ترجمه، ج‌2، ص: 214‌

And also Imam Ali (a.s.) said:

Eat nothing except your Qurbani’s meat, it would be no problem (not necessary) to do Qurbani if you have not financial ability. من لا یحضره الفقیه - ترجمه، ج‌2 ص213‌

In regard to the division of Qurbani, it is said in the narrations that

Shia Imams used to give 1/3 of the Qurbani to the neighbors, 1/3 to the poor people who were requesting, and were keeping the last 1/3 for their families. من لا یحضره الفقیه - ترجمه، ج‌2، ص: 381‌

Therefore it is considered as a Mustahab practice (not Wajib) to divide the Qurbani into 3 parts, as a result it wouldn’t be prohibited in order to keep all the meat of Qurbani for ourselves. (Or apparently as what you stated).
