The questioner:
It is permissible to offer one sacrificial animal on behalf of the members of one household. If he slaughters a sheep, it is sufficient for him and his household.
The Shaykh:
The members of a household may offer one sacrificial animal for all of them. However, if they are not members of the same household but rather separate individuals, then each one is required to offer a sacrificial animal.
The questioner:
Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed two rams. After mentioning Allah, he said for one of them: "O Allah, this is for Muhammad and the family of Muhammad," and for the other: "O Allah, this is for Muhammad and the Ummah of Muhammad."
