Is the 'Id sacrifice limited to the head of the household, and is one sacrificial animal sufficient for them, with evidence? And likewise for the hady and the fidyah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is the 'Id sacrifice limited to the head of the household, and is one sacrificial animal sufficient for them, with evidence? And likewise for the hady and the fidyah?

The Shaykh : As for the 'Id sacrifice, one sheep is sufficient for the man and his household, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to sacrifice a sheep on behalf of himself and his household.
As for the hady, each person is independent with his own hady, and each person is independent with his own fidyah, but it is permissible for seven people to share in a cow or a camel for the hady.
