6 shareholders distributing the 7th share of the qurbaani animal that was done for Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) equally

Q: If 6 shareholders put money together to make qurbani on behalf of Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم with the 7th share of an animal, how will the meat of the 7th share be divided? Does it have to be shared equally between the 6 people same as the other 6 shares?

A: Yes, it will also have to be shared equally among the six shareholders. However, the Fuqaha have ruled that if any non-meat portion (e.g. the trotters, skin, head or offals) is included in the share of each shareholder together with his meat portion, then in this case an equal distribution of the meat will not be necessary.

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