Question :

Is it permissible to include others in the reward of one`s sacrifice?



 


The Answer :

Praise be to Allah, and prayers and peace be upon our Master the Messenger of Allah.

 

It is permissible for the one offering a sacrifice (al-muḍaḥḥī) to include another person in the reward of the sacrifice, but it is not permissible for them to share in the price of the sacrifice. It is stated in Mughnī al-Muḥtāj (Vol.6/P.137) by al-Khaṭīb al-Shirbīnī: "If he includes another in the reward of his sacrifice and slaughters it on his own behalf, it is permissible." And Allah Almighty knows best.
