The questioner : He says: O honorable Shaykh! Some groups collect money from pilgrims for the sacrificial animal and slaughter it on their behalf. But they may omit the naming of each individual. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible. This is not permissible. It is necessary to specify for whom this slaughtered animal is. For example: if the group consists of thirty men and he buys thirty sheep for them, let him have a list in front of him: so-and-so, so-and-so, so-and-so, so-and-so. And whenever he presents a sheep, he says: this is for so-and-so, because specification is necessary. As for slaughtering thirty sheep for thirty men without specifying, this is not valid. Yes.
