How many people can share in a single sacrifice of a cow or a camel, and is the number determined by the type of sacrifice, its weight, or its price, and how is the sacrifice to be divided legally among the participants?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible for seven people or fewer to share in the sacrifice of a camel or a cow, dividing it equally among themselves. The share of each of them will suffice for his family and household. As for sheep, one sheep is only sufficient for a man and his household. If the conditions for the sacrifice are met, it is valid, and its weight or price are not taken into consideration.
