Q: I would like to know where the method of devising shares in an animal for qurbani has its origins, that is one share in a sheep and seven shares in a cow, camel, etc. Is it in the Quran and Hadeeth? All my life, I have practiced this concept, but recently I met someone who is of the opinion that you cannot have 7 shares in cow, etc. Please explain?

Q: Which place is considered for Qurbaani? The place where the person who the Qurbaani is being done for or the place where the animal is? e.g. Someone in UK asked me to do his Qurbaani.
