Summary
The sacrifice may be performed with one goat, with the intention that it is for oneself and one's family members. Scholars explain that one goat is valid and sufficient for a person and the dependants under his care, however many they are. This view rests on the hadith of the Prophet's own sacrifice and the practice of the companions, and An-Nawawi describes it as the position of his school and the majority of scholars. This guidance is not an official ruling of the Perlis State Fatwa.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Boleh melaksanakan ibadah korban dengan seekor kambing, diniatkan ibadah korban itu untuk diri sendiri dan ahli keluarga.
