The Ruling on a Single Sacrifice for the Household
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh, he says: I am thirty years old and I have not performed the sacrifice during these years. Is one sacrifice sufficient for my household, as we are five in total?
The Shaykh:
Is it a voluntary sacrifice or a bequest?
The questioner:
No, it is a voluntary sacrifice, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with a voluntary sacrifice; he may sacrifice a sheep on behalf of himself and his household, just as the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) did. Yes.
