The ruling on relying on the father's 'Id sacrifice for one who lives with him

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: If I have children, and I have my own income, and I live with my father, and I desire to offer the 'Id sacrifice, should I rely on my father and refrain from sacrificing as you indicated? Or what should I do? And is this restricted to those for whom my father is obligated to provide financial maintenance? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : The Sunnah, as you mentioned, is for a man to offer the sacrifice on behalf of himself and his household. Everyone in the house, whether they are adult or young children, male or female, is covered by the single sacrifice performed by the head of the household. However, if a person is separate from his father, with him in one house and his father in another, then each of them offers a sacrifice: the father offers for himself and his household, and the son offers for himself and his household.

The questioner : He says: I live with my father.

The Shaykh : If he lives with his father, it means that the single sacrifice is sufficient for them.
