Shares in a Qurbaani Animal

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: 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?

Q: If all the shareholders in a large qurbaani animal (bull) consent to the offal being given in saqaqah after slaughter and before distribution, and some of the non-meat portions are kept to be included in each share at the time of distribution, will it be permissible?

Q: Could Mufti Saheb kindly explain the correct procedure regarding the distribution of 7 shares of the qurbani carcass of a big animal?

How stringent is the rule of equal shares and what leeway is there for any shortcomings in the equal distribution of the meat?

The immediate distribution of the animal is difficult where a large number of cattle are slaughtered in the same facility, and often all the shareholders are not even present. The carcass is also cut into quarters and put into cold storage. It is only sliced a few days or even few weeks later.

In this regard, what is the Sharee position of the following:

1. Can all the seven shareholders appoint the farm owner as the wakeel to allocate the shares?

2. Can the wakeel then do part of the distribution immediately after the slaughter, such as allocate one trotter each to each shareholder and parts of the offal to the rest, then give any shareholder his share of the trotters or offal or distribute it to the poor on his behalf with his permission in his absence?

3. If the part distribution immediately upon slaughter as mentioned in 2 above is valid, must the distribution of the remainder of the shares after slicing still be totally equal, or with the consent of all the parties, will some greater / lesser amount in the shares be overlooked?

Q: A family wishes to slaughter a cow for qurbaani. However, some of the members are on a budget. In order to please the parents, can 2 shareholders put in extra to bring down the share price of the others, making it affordable? (e.g. The purchase price of the animal with which the parents are happy is R28 000. 2 shareholders will pay R5000 each and the rest will pay R3600.) Only the 2 shareholders paying more is aware of the extra and keeping it a secret from the others not to offend them and also to keep them happy.
