Summary
Sharing a cow between shares intended as qurbani and shares not intended as qurbani is permissible in the Shafi'i school. The shares intended as qurbani are valid, and their meat must be distributed according to the conditions for qurbani meat. Shares with no named participant or no qurbani intention count as general charity rather than qurbani, so their meat may be given away or used without following the qurbani distribution rules.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Manakala bahagian lembu yang tidak ada penama atau tidak diniatkan untuk korban dikira sebagai sedekah secara umum dan tidak dikira sebagai ibadah korban kerana tidak diniatkan untuk korban.
