Answers: 13Subcategories: 2Sacrifices
Buying a share (in an animal) for the udhiyah, sharing with one who wants to offer a wedding feast, and the minimum amount that is required for the wedding feast
Based on that: There is nothing wrong with you sharing the purchase of the cow with your relatives, so that you will have one seventh of the cow, which you will intend as an udhiyah – but less than one seventh will not be acceptable as a sacrifice on your part – and they will dispose of the rest of it in whatever manner they like, whether for a wedding feast or otherwise. But we should point out that the minimum age of a cow for it to be acceptable as a sacrifice is two years; anything younger than that will not be acceptable, even if it has a lot of meat. Please see question no. 41899. And Allah knows best.14,060Is Udhiyah Obligatory?
Scholars have different views on the ruling of udhiyah. Most of the scholars are of the view that udhiyah is Sunnah, and is not obligatory.39,109Is it permissible for fewer than seven people to share in a cow for udhiyah?
29,578If the head of the household refuses to offer an udhiyah, can a woman offer an udhiyah on behalf of herself and the members of her household?
12,797Is it permissible for a person to have less than a one-seventh share in the sacrifice (udhiyah) of a cow?
9,633Offering Udhiyah on Behalf of the Prophet
It is not permissible to offer an Udhiyah on behalf of Prophet Muhammad because in principle acts of worship are not allowed and should not be done unless substantiated with evidence.30,801Did the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) always choose a castrated animal for the udhiyah?
18,109If the udhiyah dies before it can be slaughtered
