Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, a questioner asks: Is a single sacrificial animal sufficient for a large family in one household?

Answer:
Yes, one sacrificial animal is sufficient for them. A man used to offer a single sheep as a sacrifice on behalf of himself and his family during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered a single sheep as a sacrifice on behalf of himself and his family, peace and blessings be upon him, even if they had been a hundred. Yes.

The presenter: Praise be to Allah. May Allah reward you with good.
