The head of the household is responsible for the sacrifice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: If there is a mother in the house, and her children are married and have children, who among them performs the sacrifice?
One sacrifice is performed on behalf of the entire household by the person in charge of the house, whether that is the father, the husband, or the eldest brother. The important point is that the person in charge of the house is the one who performs the sacrifice and intends it to be a sacrifice on behalf of everyone.
So, if the mother has children in the house, and her children have children in the house, the eldest of the children is considered the guardian of this household.
Therefore, he is the one who performs the sacrifice, and the mother does not perform a sacrifice; because she is included in her son's sacrifice.
