Summary
Pooling money to buy one share of the sacrifice is permissible, but the share must be owned by a single named person. That person receives the reward of the sacrifice, while those who contributed money receive the reward of charity, as their money is regarded as a gift. For residents of shared rental or bachelor houses, the sacrifice remains a recommended duty on each individual, so those who are able are encouraged to buy their own animals.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Adapun bagi keadaan individu yang berkongsi duit bersama individu yang lain kerana ingin menampung kos bayaran bagi bahagian korban adalah diharuskan.
