Q: I want to know reading aqeeqa meat distribution.

Q: Aqeeqa should be done by parents. If parents are poor and husband wants to do wife's aqeeqa, is he allowed to do so? A wife whose aqeeqa has been done by husband is she allowed to eat or keep that meat for herself? What will be the procedure of her aqeeqah? Is it a must for her to shave her hair completely? Please answer as soon as possible. Can you answer according to Imam Shafi?

Q: I would like to know that if a person is mentally ill and he makes Qurbaani with his money (which is given to him by the government every month and saved for him), can we eat from that meat or must all be given out?

Q: What is the ruling regarding the following situation:

Certain organisations, before the days of Qurbaani, purchase animals which they intend to sell to the public and also carry out nafl Qurbaanis on behalf of the public. After slaughtering the animals on behalf of the public, they distribute the meat among the poor in indigenous areas. All the meat of these animals is given in sadaqah and nothing comes to the purchasers. The way the animals are purchased is that people contact the organisations telephonically or via email and purchase animals. Those purchasing the animals do not see the animals nor do they select the animals, and nor do the organisations select any animal on behalf of the purchaser at the time of purchase. However, since the organisation knows the number of animals they possess and wish to sell, they continue selling to the public till all the animals are sold. On the day of Qurbaani, these animals are slaughtered by the organisations and distributed among the poor.

a. Is it necessary at the time of purchasing the animals to select the animals one wishes to purchase for the nafl Qurbaani?

b. Is this method of purchasing the animals and carrying out the nafl Qurbaani correct? If this is not the correct method, then what is the correct Shar’ee method of purchasing the Qurbaani animals and getting the animals slaughtered on one’s behalf by the organisations?

Q: What is the ruling regarding the following situation:

At the time of Qurbaani, certain stock farmers sell sheep and goats to the public. They charge a stipulated fee for providing the services of skinning the animal, slicing and parceling the meat for all those people who wish to do Qurbaani at their farm. Before the days of Qurbaani, people go to the farms, and after selecting the animals, purchase them from the farmers. After purchasing the animals they leave the animals on the farms to be slaughtered during the days of Qurbaani.

Other people merely phone the farmer and purchase their animals over the phone without going to the farm and selecting the animals. At times, the farmer selects and marks an animal for the client (e.g. sheep, goat, etc.) and concludes the transaction over the phone on the specific marked animal. At times, the sale is concluded over the phone, however the farmer does not select and mark any animal at the time of concluding the sale. Since the farmer knows that he has extra animals in the pen, he concludes the transaction on an unspecified animal with this in mind that on the day of Qurbaani, he will select an animal for the client and carry out his Qurbaani.

Is this method of purchasing the animal and carrying out the Qurbaani correct where the animal is not selected by the purchaser but by the farmer himself according to both situations explained (i.e. where the farmer concludes the sale on a specific marked animal or on an unspecified animal and only specifies it at the time of slaughter)? If this is not the correct method of purchasing, then what is the correct Shar’ee method of purchasing the Qurbaani animal and asking the farmer to slaughter it on one’s behalf?

Q: If one is slaughtering a buffalo or cattle for Qurbani, can one intend the remaining six shares for Nabi صلي الله عليه وسلم and Sahaba (Radiyallahu Anhum) as isale sawaab? What is the reward for doing so? Is there a specific reward?

Q: Can one perform nafl Qurbaani, from one’s personal wealth, on behalf of one’s deceased relatives e.g. parents, grandfather, mother, in-laws, brothers, sisters, daughters, sons, etc.?
