If there are brothers in one house, each with his own kitchen, is it permissible for them to share one sacrificial animal, or not?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A question regarding the sacrificial animal, O Shaykh: An elderly man has three married sons who live in one divided house, and each of these sons takes charge of preparing food on a specific day, as each of them has an independent kitchen. The question is: Is it recommended for these people to have multiple sacrificial animals or just one? And if it is one, do they share in the cost of the sacrificial animal, or does it come from the money of one of them?
The Shaykh : What I see is that each house must have a sacrificial animal, because each house is independent. Yes.
The questioner : Our father, may Allah preserve you and may Allah bless your knowledge and your time. In the beginning... your sons from the north wish to honor us with a visit.
The Shaykh : May Allah make it easy. We ask Allah for ease.
The questioner : The second question...
The Shaykh : I say that it is obligatory for us to [show kindness to] our brothers, all of them, in the north, south, east, and west. But I say that free time is scarce.
