Ruling on sharing in the cost of a single udhiyah from sheep

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, he says: Is it permissible for two people to share in the cost of a single udhiyah from sheep?

Answer:
No. The udhiyah is slaughtered by one person, and he shares in it with whomever he wishes. He slaughters it at his own expense and shares the reward with whomever he wishes. As for a group of people sharing in a sheep, that is not, it does not suffice. A sheep only suffices for one person, and for whomever that one person wishes to share the reward with. There is no harm in that. This applies to the camel and the cow, which suffice 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 his sharing the reward with whomever he wishes. Yes.
