Question:
A man is married and has children, and he lives with his father and his brothers. Is one sacrificial animal sufficient for them?
Answer:
Yes, even if they were a hundred, one sacrificial animal is sufficient for them, provided they are gathered together: a father and his family, ten or twenty, and their wives, one is sufficient for them. And if they slaughter two or three or more, there is no harm, but one is sufficient for them in performing the Sunnah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had nine wives, and he would sacrifice one on his behalf and on behalf of his household (peace and blessings be upon him).
