The madhhab of the majority of scholars is that Udhiyah is a confirmed Sunnah and not obligatory, while Imam Abu Hanifa held the view that it is obligatory.
Udhiyah is only required from those who are able and it is offered on behalf of all the household. The criterion for a household is a shared expenditure.
