Is one sacrifice sufficienton behalf of all the members of a
household, even if they are many?.
Praise be to Allaah.
One sacrifice is sufficienton behalf of all the members of a
household, no matter how many of them thereare.
Al-Tirmidhi (1505) narrated that 'Ata' ibn Yassaar said: I asked Abu
Ayyoob: How was the sacrifice done at the time of the Messenger
ofAllaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? He said: A man
would offer a sheepon behalf of himself and the members of his family,
and they would eat some and feed others with some." Classed as saheeh
by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
It says in Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi:
This hadeeth clearly states that a single sheepis sufficient on behalf
of a man and the members of his household, even if they are many, and
that is correct.
Al-Haafiz ibn al-Qayyim said in Zaad al-Ma'aad: The teaching of the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was that a sheep
is sufficient on behalf of a man and the members of his household,
even if they are many in number.
Al-Shawkaani said in Nayl al-Awtaar: In fact a single sheep is
sufficient on behalf of the members of a household, even if there are
one hundred or more, as is indicated by the Sunnah. End quote.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen said in al-Sharh al-Mumti' (5/275):
There is no limit to how many people may share in the reward. The
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) offered a
sacrifice on behalf of his entire ummah, and a man may offer a single
sheep on behalf of himself and the members of his household, even if
they are one hundred strong. End quote.
The Standing Committee was asked: There are twenty-two people in this
family, and they have one income and one budget. On Eid al-Adha they
offer a single sacrifice, and I do not know whether that is sufficient
or whether they should offer two sacrifices?
They replied:
If the family is big but they live in one house, one sacrifice is
sufficientfor them, but if they offer more than one sacrifice, that is
better. End quote.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
