Fatwa Type : Summarized Fatawaa

Question :

Is it permissible for household members to pool money for the Udhiyah and gift it to one of them?



The Answer :

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.

 

It is permissible for members of a household to pool their money together and gift the total amount to one individual among them so that he may offer the sacrifice (Udhiyah). In this case, the family members receive the reward for giving charity (Sadaqah), and the one performing the sacrifice includes them in the spiritual reward (Thawab).

 

Furthermore, slaughtering a single sheep (on one's own) is considered religously better than participating as one of seven people in the sacrifice of a cow or a camel. And Allah the Almighty knows best.
