Qurbani FAQ’s (9/14)
Question
Can one make intention for multiple people in one Qurbani for the deceased?
Answer
One may make the intention of the Thawaab (reward) going to multiple people in one Qurbani animal if it is a Nafl (optional) Qurbani. When Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam performed Qurbani, he ordered two animals. He slaughtered one animal as his Wajib (necessary) Qurbani and the other as optional (Nafl) on behalf of his entire Ummah. (Ibn Majah #3121)
10. What type of animals should one choose for Qurbani?
Animals which are healthy and free from any faults or defects should be chosen for Qurbani.
