Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the 'Id sacrifice recommended for everyone living in the house, the father and his children, even if they are able to perform the sacrifice themselves? Or is it specific to those for whom their financial maintenance is obligatory?
Answer:
No. If the head of the household slaughters the sacrifice on behalf of everyone in the house, it is sufficient for all of them. This is the Sunnah, even if they are wealthy, or if there are wealthy people in the house. There is no harm in that. Yes.
