In reference to neveilah, the Torah (Devarim 14:21) says that it may not be eaten, but, instead, it should be “given to an alien resident or sold to a stranger.”
The alien resident in the verse is a person who is not fully Jewish, so he is not observant of the entire Torah, but he has accepted upon himself to fulfill the seven Noachide laws.
There is a disagreement regarding how to understand the Torah’s directives regarding the meat of a neveilah. R’ Meir holds that the meat may be either given as a gift or sold to either an alien resident or to a stranger. R’ Yehuda says that the verse is specific in its categorization.
The mitzvah is that if it is provided for the alien resident, it must be given as a gift, for free. If the meat is furnished to the stranger, it should be sold to him.
We explore Deut 14:3 and the definition of “toevah” abomination.
