Slaughter on behalf of those who entrusted it, with an intention not explicitly declared

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I went to the place of slaughtering in Mina and slaughtered seven sheep in Mina. I did so on my behalf and on behalf of my brothers for whom I was responsible, but I did not make the intention explicit by saying, “O Allah, this is for so-and-so and this is for so-and-so.” Rather, I mentioned or said, “In the name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest.”

Answer:
It is sufficient if a person slaughters the hady or the udhiyah and says, “In the name of Allah.” That is enough. Since he said it was for so-and-so and so-and-so, as long as he intended it for their people, that is sufficient. If he intended it for them, that is sufficient, sufficient, sufficient.
