Qurbaani & Halaal Slaughter

Stunning of animals

Q: Almost all Halaal Certifying Bodies appear to condone the stunning of animals and even chickens prior to slaughtering. But what is the Shariah aspect in this respect? Is it simply deemed an undesirable practice but not explicitly permitted or condoned?

Few people slaughtering one sheep for Rasululullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)

Q: A group of students get together to get a sheep slaughtered for Qurbaani for the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). Will the Qurbaani be invalid since a group of people cannot slaughter a single sheep, or will it be valid since if they intended the slaughter to be on behalf of a single person (i.e. the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)?

Trophy Hunting

Q: Can I please have a detailed answer with references regarding "Is trophy Hunting permissible" " and hunting with rifles". I'm a student of Deen that's why I request references. I need it as part of my research.

Committee selling Qurbaani animals

Q: Question on costing for Qurbani by the committee providing the service. Is it permissible to add an extra amount to the Qurbani cost for masjid development projects. To add service charges and admin costs is understandable. But using the Qurbani as an opportunity for fund raising for the masjid is questionable. This pushes the cost of Qurbani up making it difficult to perform the duty.

Upon whom is Qurbaani waajib

Q:

1. Is Qurbaani fardh or an emphasized Sunnah?

2. I have read it is sufficient for a man to slaughter on behalf of his family - is this correct, false or a difference of opinion

3. Can you dedicate a sacrifice in general, but also doing Qurbani for a dead relative (dedicating the reward to them), also can you do this for the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) as in dedicate the reward to him? I know it's not a Sunnah, but is it allowed?
