Qurbaani

Q: Upon whom is qurbaani waajib, and what amount of wealth does one need to possess for qurbaani to be waajib (compulsory) upon him?

Q: When performing Tamattu or Qiraan Hajj, will the Damm-e-Shukr suffice for one’s qurbaani for Eidul Adha, or will one’s qurbaani have to be done separately? 

Q: I am a 25 year old unmarried woman (will get married in a few months). My parents passed away a few years ago and I don't have any other siblings. I live with a relative in very good condition. I am presently working with a medium level salary and I have a little inherited gold and a savings as well.

Please tell me if Qurbani is fardh on me? Some people say it's not because I'm an unmarried orphan, some say it is because I'm independent and earning myself.

Q: I am doing qurbani this year. Please advise whose name I must slaughter on.

Q: If a qurbaani animal gets injured after purchasing it to the extent that it does not meet the requirements for qurbaani anymore or it dies:

1. Does another animal have to be purchased?

2. Does the new animal have to be of the same value and size, etc.?

3. If a person cannot afford to buy another animal,what should he do?

Q: Can qurbaani be made for both the living and the deceased in sacrificing one animal, i.e. a cow or a buffalo?

Q: We find it is becoming common for people to hire cold rooms, refrigerated trucks or trailers for Eid. These equipments are hired out to anyone and have most likely been used for haraam meat before.

1. Could this cause contamination although the meat is not being stored in it at the same time as the haraam meat?

2. How should one go about cleaning the equipment prior to using? Is there a specific manner and specific number of times in which it should be cleaned?

Q: Can a person do a nafl Qurbaani and Aqeeqah in one sheep?

Q: Alhamdulillah my parents had slaughtered a cow for Eid which they included shares for myself, my daughter and my wife. I had told them that I would pay for my share as I wanted to pay for my waajib qurbani.

1. Although I asked my mother earlier, she had only given me the price of the qurbani on the day it was slaughtered. As I did not have the bank details I could not make the payment before it was slaughtered. Can I still pay my parents for my qurbani?

2. It is my understanding that my father paid for the qurbani while my mother handles the distribution and my father does not mind. My mother has told us on a few occasions that we should let her know whatever we want from the cow. Should there be any extra caution exercised to ensure that no interest(ribaa) is given or taken?

Q: I am assisting the general public in cutting and skinning the sheep as they do not have any facilities as well as many do not know how to make the slaughter. A farmer that collects skins for the tannery is prepared to collect the skins and after it has been sorted and graded at the tannery, they will then pay us some cash value of the skins.

Question: It is a generally understood common practice in South Africa for the public to leave the skins of their qurbani sheep at the slaughter facility as they have no need for it. The owners of the slaughter facility subsequently do as they wish with these skins that were left behind. If a tannery pays cash to them i.e to the owners of the slaughter facility for these skins, Can they donate it to a musjid for renovations ?
