 <\/p>\n

Question:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have a question regarding Qurbani. Suppose there is a cow being shared by 7 people, and the total cost is \u20ac700. Six of them will participate in the meat cutting, while one person will not be involved in that process.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this case, the one who is not helping will pay a bit more \u2014 for example, \u20ac150 \u2014 and the remaining \u20ac550 will be divided equally among the six who are helping. Is this arrangement permissible?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are two aspects that the arrangement you described involves,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sharing the cost of Qurbani and adjusting the shares based on labour or involvement.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1️. Sharing the Cost Based on Involvement:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Qurbani (Udhiyah), the essential requirement is that each participant owns an equal share in the animal, regardless of their involvement in the slaughter or meat cutting. The concept of paying more or less based on participation in labour is not aligned with the principles of valid partnership (shirkah) in Qurbani.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ruling of Islamic Shariah:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The ruling is mentioned in the book of (1)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u0643\u062a\u0627\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u062d\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0627\u0626\u0642 \u0634\u0631\u062d \u0643\u0646\u0632 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0642\u0627\u0626\u0642<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A condition for the validity of partnership in Qurbani is that the shares must be equal, and there should be no difference in the price among the partners. If one person pays more or less, the partnership becomes invalid.<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. The explanation of the statement:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    In your case, the one who is not helping is paying \u20ac150, while the rest share the remaining \u20ac550, meaning his share is disproportionate. According to Hanafi principles, this invalidates the partnership because:<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    A) Qurbani shares are not based on labour or effort; they are based on equal ownership of the animal.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    B) Each participant must equally own 1\/7th of the animal’s value, irrespective of the work done during <\/span>slaughtering.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Correct Method to make it valid:<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    All seven participants must pay an equal share of \u20ac100.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    If one person does not want to participate in labour, the others can mutually agree to help, but it should not affect the price of their share.<\/span><\/p>\n
