Is it permissible for four people to share in one sacrifice (a calf or a camel) with the intention of both Aqiqah and Udhiyah together?
The established Sunnah regarding the 'Aqiqah is to slaughter two sheep for a boy and one sheep for a girl. This is based on the statement of 'Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded us to slaughter one sheep for a girl and two sheep for a boy as 'Aqiqah." And his statement, peace and blessings be upon him: "A boy is ransomed by his 'Aqiqah; it should be slaughtered for him on the seventh day, he should be named, and his head should be shaved." As for sharing in the 'Aqiqah, it has not been reported, and the jurists have explicitly stated that sharing is not permissible in the 'Aqiqah. However, if one performs 'Aqiqah for a single newborn with a camel, that is the view of the majority.
