Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: A man vowed to sacrifice a calf every year, but he cannot slaughter the whole thing. Can someone share in his calf?

Do you mean he slaughters part of it? Do you mean he can slaughter the whole thing? Yes.

May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If it is seven. He says: May Allah reward you. A man vowed to sacrifice a calf every year,

The Shaykh:
A calf does not suffice if it is young; it does not suffice. It must be completed to two years, and this is what is called a calf. Yes.

He says: It happened to you, and he cannot slaughter the whole thing. Can someone share in it with him?

A calf does not suffice. A calf under two years old does not suffice. If it reaches two years, it is not called a calf. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
