Is it permissible for me to offer a sacrifice on behalf of my deceased mother with a sacrifice specifically for her, and to offer a second sacrifice for myself and my family?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My mother (may Allah have mercy on her) passed away five months ago. Is it permissible for me to offer a sacrifice specifically for her, and to offer a second sacrifice for myself and my family?

Answer:
It is permissible, it is permissible. However, it is the recommended practice (sunnah) for you all to come together with one sacrifice. Because one should not be extravagant in slaughtering sacrifices. The sacrifice suffices for the man and his family, praise be to Allah. Yes.
