The majority of scholars permit seven people to share one sacrifice if it is a cow or a camel, provided that the cow has reached the age of eligibility, which is two years with entry into the third year. If it is "young" and has not reached this age, it is not sufficient as a sacrifice. However, if it has reached the age of eligibility, it is permissible to sacrifice it for seven or fewer people. If one of the participants withdraws, his share may be disposed of by selling or other means, because anything exceeding one-seventh is considered voluntary.
