Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : These are questions about the 'Id sacrifice. He says, may Allah honor him,The Shaykh : If the father has children and some of the children are married, is the father's 'Id sacrifice sufficient for the sons, even though they have wives? Or does the father slaughter for himself, the son for himself, and the wife for herself? Also, what is your advice for those who are a family in one house?
The Shaykh : If they are a family in one house, one 'Id sacrifice is sufficient for them, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered one 'Id sacrifice for himself and his household, and his wives who were with him were nine women, and yet he offered one 'Id sacrifice for them. However, if these sons are each in a separate house apart from the others, then each one of them must offer an 'Id sacrifice, and the father's 'Id sacrifice is not sufficient for them. Yes.
