There is a hadith in Sahih Muslim to the effect that one sacrifice is made on behalf of the whole family 3417613581

This masala will become clear only after reading the previous hadith of the two hadiths of that hadith narrated in Sahih Muslim. Tradition Read prathameh عن البراء بن عازب, أن خاله أبا بردة بن نيار, ذبح قبل أن يذبح النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم, فقال: يا رسول الله, إن هذا يوم اللحم فيه مكروه, وإني عجلت نسيكتي لأطعم أهلي وجيراني وأهل داري, فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «أعد نسكا», فقال: يا رسول الله, إن عندي عناق لبن هي خير من شاتي لحم, فقال: «هي خير نسيكتيك, ولا تجزي جذعة عن أحد بعدك • ra narrated from Abu Bara bin ayiba. His uncle Abu Burda bin Nayyar sacrificed before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). He said, O Messenger of Allah! Today is the day to eat meat. So I don't like to delay eating meat on this day. So I slaughtered my goat before the prayer for the purpose of feeding meat to my family, neighbors and relatives. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Sacrifice another goat at that place. My uncle said, I have a milk goat less than one year old, which is better than two goats in terms of meat. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: That is better for your sacrifice. But a six-month-old goat will not be enough for anyone after you. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 1981, Ifaba-4984, E-S: -4914) Try the two hadiths together. Combining the two hadiths, it is clear that the Companions wanted to sacrifice a goat less than one year old. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) only allowed the sacrifice of a goat less than one year old for this time only. He also informed that it is not permissible to sacrifice a goat less than one year of age. Which proves clearly, what age goat can be slaughtered here? And what is the time to sacrifice? This is the main point of the hadith. If a sacrifice is required on all the adults in the family, and if one goat is sacrificed on their behalf, there is no mention in this hadith that it will be realized on behalf of all. Therefore, it is not correct to present this hadith in support of the claim that this sacrifice should be sufficient for all the members of the family. And if a sacrifice is required on a few adult members of the family, if one person makes a sacrifice, it will not be realized by all. Can't be However, if the meaning is taken to mean that a sacrifice is required on one of the family members. He sacrificed. Then it is permissible for the whole family to eat the meat of his sacrifice. If it is said that "one sacrifice is enough for a family in terms of meat consumption", then it is correct. One sacrifice of one member of a family is enough to eat meat for everyone in the family. But that may not be enough for everyone's sacrifice. Because, sacrifice is an act of worship. And worship must be different for each person. The worship of one does not fulfill the worship of another. Only thawab can be reached. For example, he intended to perform prayers and send rewards for others. By this the reward will reach. But the prayers of others will not be performed. Let me be more clear! If one sacrifice is performed on behalf of one family, the sacrifice will not be performed on behalf of all. If one fast is performed on behalf of one family, will it be realized on behalf of all? If one performs Hajj on behalf of one family, will Hajj be performed on behalf of all? If one person pays the ribbon on a charity, will the charity be paid on everyone's behalf? If one prays, everyone will be realized? If not, then how will everyone realize the sacrifice? Sacrifice like prayer, fasting, Hajj is also an act of worship. Which is required separately on each individual. If one collects, how will the other collect? This is an irrational and ridiculous thing. It has been narrated in the Qur'an: َّلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ এই It is stated in the Book that no person will bear anyone's burden. (Surat an-Najm: 36) It is understood from some hadiths that in the first age the Companions used to offer sacrifices only to the whole family, which means that we also say that whoever is required to offer sacrifices in the family will do so. If it is necessary for two, then two will do. And if it is necessary on one, then one will. So in the early days of Islam there was poverty among the Companions. There was not so much prosperity. And since there was only one earner in the family, the sacrifice had to be made on the master of the house, and he used to make the sacrifice. And the whole family ate its meat. This means sacrificing the Companions on behalf of the whole family. This never meant that sacrifices were required on everyone in the family. But they did not sacrifice anyone, only one. This is not the case with the Companions. Moreover, some people present the evidence that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to sacrifice a goat on behalf of the entire Ummah. So one sacrifice will be on behalf of the whole family. That is also not true. Because one is to sacrifice as a duty. Another is to reach thawab. Sacrifice will be the same for a person performing duties as necessary. The rest will be able to do thawab for millions of people by sacrificing. There is no problem. For example, after the Prophet (peace be upon him) sacrificed himself. He has done thawab for all the ummahs. There is no proof that the obligatory sacrifice of the whole family can be done by one person. (Tuhfatul Almayi, 4 / 436-438) 6843294839
