Sharing in a cow for the 'aqiqah sacrifice for daughters
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the 'aqiqah, I have a daughter, and my brother has two daughters. Is it permissible for us to slaughter a large cow instead of three sheep, or is it necessary to have one sheep for each daughter? Can the three of us share a cow among the three girls?
Answer:
Camels and cows are like one animal for seven people. A camel is slaughtered for seven people, and a cow is also slaughtered for seven. If you slaughter the whole animal for one person, slaughtering a camel for one, two, or three people is permissible, and the same applies to a cow; there is no harm in that.
