Is it permissible for two people to share the cost of one sheep for the 'Id sacrifice?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
To share the cost of one sheep for the 'Id sacrifice?

Answer:
No, the 'Id sacrifice is only valid if one person slaughters it and shares it with whomever he wishes. He slaughters it at his own expense and shares it with whomever he wishes. As for a group sharing a sheep, that is not sufficient. A sheep is only sufficient for one person, and for those whom that one person wishes to share the reward with; there is no harm in that. This applies to the camel and the cow, which are sufficient for seven people who share in them. As for sheep, sharing is not accepted; one person slaughters it at his own expense, and there is no harm in him sharing the reward with whomever he wishes.
