Is it permissible to share in the Udhiyah (sacrifice) with one's siblings with the intention of charity, knowing that the husband will perform the sacrifice on their behalf?
It is permissible to share in the sacrifice () if it is a camel or a cow, as it suffices for seven individuals. The difference in the intentions of the participants does not matter, as long as it is for the purpose of drawing closer to Allah. According to the Shafi’i and Hanbali schools, it is permissible for someone who only desires meat to share with those offering the sacrifice for religious proximity. Therefore, it is permissible for a woman to share with her brothers with the intention of charity. However, it is better for her to share with the intention of Udhiyah, because Udhiyah is superior to mere charity, as it combines drawing closer to Allah through the shedding of blood and giving charity with the meat.
