The 'Id sacrifice on behalf of a father who bequeathed one-third

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah have mercy on him, and the Shaykh has finished. Is his sacrifice to be paid from my account, or am I to share it with him?

The Shaykh:
What is he saying?

The presenter:
Repeat the question, Abu Hamud.

The questioner:
My father (may Allah have mercy on him) had something owed to him by me. And I settled it like this.

The Shaykh:
He bequeathed one-third, meaning he bequeathed one-third.

The questioner:
Should I pay for it from my account, or share it with him?

The Shaykh:
It is obligatory for you to carry out the bequest he made, whether in the 'Id sacrifice or in other acts of righteousness. If you carry out the one-third and nothing remains of it, and you wish to give charity to him with the 'Id sacrifice or otherwise, that is good and dutifulness to your father.

The questioner:
Am I to share it with him, or sacrifice for myself from my own account?

The Shaykh:
It is all permissible, my brother. You may sacrifice a separate 'Id sacrifice for him, or share it with you; there is no harm. Yes.
