Previously, Fatwa no. 36684 detailed the conditions for the permissibility of sharing in the Udhiyah (sacrifice). Accordingly, if the woman spends on the rest of the family (husband and children) and they live with her, it is permissible for her to include them in her Udhiyah, and it will suffice for all of them. However, if she does not spend on them, or if the children live independently in their own residences, then including them in her Udhiyah is not permissible.
