Few people collectively carrying out one nafl Qurbaani in one sheep or goat

Q: Can few people buy one sheep or goat and carry out a nafl qurbaani?

A: There are two views among our Ulama regarding this mas'alah.

According to Mufti Shaf'ee Saheb, Mufti Abdur Raheem Laajpuri and Moulana Yusuf Ludyaanwi (Rahmatullahi Alayhim), one nafl qurbaani can only be carried out on behalf of one person. Two or more people cannot collectively carry out nafl qurbaani in one animal.

According to Moulana Ashraf Ali Thaanwi (Rahmatullahi Alayh) and Mufti Mahmood Gangohi (Rahmatullahi Alayh), one nafl qurbaani can be carried out on behalf of few people collectively. It should be borne in mind that this ruling pertains to the validity of the nafl qurbaani if carried out by more than one person. As far as the sawaab is concerned, all the Ulama agree that if one person carries out the nafl qurbaani, he can convey the sawaab to as many people as he wishes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

وقال بعض أهل العلم: لا تجزي الشاة إلا عن نفس واحدة، وهو قول عبد الله بن المبارك، وغيره من أهل العلم (سنن الترمذي 1/277)

(وإن) (مات أحد السبعة) المشتركين في البدنة (وقال الورثة اذبحوا عنه وعنكم) (صح) عن الكل استحسانا لقصد القربة من الكل، ولو ذبحوها بلا إذن الورثة لم يجزهم لأن بعضها لم يقع قربة (الدر المختار 6/326)
