Q: On bakri eid, for sunnah fasting till one eats of the qurbani animal, when does that sunnah fast start? Is it from sehri time like Ramadan that one shouldn't eat anything?
If I awake early and eat before sehri ends, will that still be within the sunnat?

Q: For Eid, I'm going to see my family abroad. I'm only going for one week so I will be a Musaafir. One condition of wujoob for Qurbaani is that a person is a Muqeem. I am planning to do zabah of an animal there.
The question is what intention do I make? Is it Nafl? If its Nafl, can I then do esaale thawaab of it instead of doing it from my own side? Or will it become waajib when I buy the animal even though I'm a Musaafir?
Q: I have a few questions regarding Qurbani:
1. I am doing my qurbani in two different countries abroad. What should I do to make sure it is done correctly?
2. This might be answered in the above, but if I am doing 3 shares in one place, is telling the person who is doing the qurbani on my behalf that these are my 3 shares, is that enough?
What if those 3 shares, I am conveying the reward to multiple people (prophet Muhammad ﷺ, my dad, and me)? Then do I have to tell the person doing the qurbani on my behalf that these 3 shares are for for the reward of prophet Muhammad ﷺ, my dad, and me? Or just telling them that the shares are from me is enough?
3. Can I convey the reward of a share to multiple deceased people?
4. Can I convey the reward of a share to alive people?
What about multiple alive people?
5. Is there a difference in "conveying" the reward of a share/qurbani compared to doing the qurbani/share on "behalf" of someone? So basically is there any difference in conveying and behalf?
6. Since I am doing the qurbani abroad, is it fine if I do not know the exact features of the cow? I just know that it upholds all the rules of a valid cow for qurbani. Do I need to know anything else of the animal for qurbani?
7. Is it better for me to do multiple shares abroad (i.e. 7) compared to just doing one share locally? And I feel like doing it abroad, there are more needy people than locally.
8. If my dad discharged sadaqatul fitr on my behalf (with my permission and knowledge) and I don't pay him until a year later, is this still valid?
Is there any decrease in reward?
Q: A person purchased a bull for qurbaani. Later on, he decides to sell some shares of the animal to people who intend doing qurbaani. Will it be permissible for him to sell some of the shares?

Q: I went fishing recently and before catching any fish I did not have a clear intention whether I would catch and release the fish or eat it. When I had the fish already hooked on the line I was told that we should eat it by 1 person so I pulled it out and thought we were going to eat it. But then another person more knowledgeable told me to release it back into the ocean because the fish was a bottom feeder and would not be nice to eat. I then released the fish back into the ocean after it had already been hurt by the hook. I did not know that it is not good to catch and release before fishing. Did I commit a sin by catching and releasing that fish?

Q:
