Qurbaani

Q: Can qurbaani be made for both the living and the deceased in sacrificing one animal, i.e. a cow or a buffalo?

Q: We find it is becoming common for people to hire cold rooms, refrigerated trucks or trailers for Eid. These equipments are hired out to anyone and have most likely been used for haraam meat before.

1. Could this cause contamination although the meat is not being stored in it at the same time as the haraam meat?

2. How should one go about cleaning the equipment prior to using? Is there a specific manner and specific number of times in which it should be cleaned?

Q: Can a person do a nafl Qurbaani and Aqeeqah in one sheep?

Q: Alhamdulillah my parents had slaughtered a cow for Eid which they included shares for myself, my daughter and my wife. I had told them that I would pay for my share as I wanted to pay for my waajib qurbani.

1. Although I asked my mother earlier, she had only given me the price of the qurbani on the day it was slaughtered. As I did not have the bank details I could not make the payment before it was slaughtered. Can I still pay my parents for my qurbani?

2. It is my understanding that my father paid for the qurbani while my mother handles the distribution and my father does not mind. My mother has told us on a few occasions that we should let her know whatever we want from the cow. Should there be any extra caution exercised to ensure that no interest(ribaa) is given or taken?

Q: I am assisting the general public in cutting and skinning the sheep as they do not have any facilities as well as many do not know how to make the slaughter. A farmer that collects skins for the tannery is prepared to collect the skins and after it has been sorted and graded at the tannery, they will then pay us some cash value of the skins.

Question: It is a generally understood common practice in South Africa for the public to leave the skins of their qurbani sheep at the slaughter facility as they have no need for it. The owners of the slaughter facility subsequently do as they wish with these skins that were left behind. If a tannery pays cash to them i.e to the owners of the slaughter facility for these skins, Can they donate it to a musjid for renovations ?

Q:

1. A person purchased a qurbaani animal which had a rope on. What should be done with the rope after slaughtering the animal?

2. Is there any difference in the ruling for a rich and poor person?

Q:

1. Is one qurbani valid for whole family living under one roof?

2. I have heard that qurbani is wajib but I have seen many aalim's videos who say qurbani is Sunnat-e-Ebrahimi. So if a person does not do it, its not a sin as its a sunnah act, is it true?

3. I do not earn and I am dependent on my father but I did have some savings, was qurbani wajib on me though I gave that money to my mother 3 days before eid as I feared sin. 

Q: Can we give the money of a qurbaani animal to a poor needy widow instead of doing the qurbaani ourselves or do we the qurbani and then sell the meat and give the amount to her?

Q:

1. When a person performs one’s personal obligatory qurbani, for example one sheep, and intend donating the reward to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) or some other deceased individual, will the person performing the qurbani and the deceased get the full reward of qurbani?

2. In the above mentioned situation, when performing one's own obligatory qurbani like a sheep, can the reward of the qurbani be conveyed to multiple people (deceased or alive)?

Q: If qurbaani is fardh on a person but he does not have enough wealth to make it over here but he will be able to send it to India. Should he carry out qurbaani or what should he do?
