Summary
By default, one portion of the sacrifice stands for one person only. In terms of reward, however, a person may sacrifice for himself and his family or others and share the reward, which is permitted according to the Shafii school and the majority of scholars. The ruling is linked to the hadith of the Prophet's sacrifice on behalf of himself, his family and his community, with the hope that Allah distributes the reward for upholding the rites, practising the sunnah and cooperating in good.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
