The father’s sacrifice sufficing for his independent sons
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My brothers and I work in different countries, and then during the festival of sacrifice we gather at our father’s house, and our father slaughters the sacrifice. Does this sacrifice suffice for all of us, given that each of us has an independent apartment?
Answer:
It is the recommended practice (sunnah) for each person to sacrifice for himself, as long as he is independent in his home; each person should sacrifice for himself. This is the sunnah. Your father sacrifices for himself and his household. Since each of the sons is independent, each should sacrifice for himself. This is what is best.
