Q: We are four children with our father living in adjacent but independent houses, which are all surrounded by one fence. Will one Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) suffice on the part of all the households or should each household sacrifice one? Please advise me, may Allah reward you with the best!
A: It is Mustahab (desirable) for each householder to sacrifice an Ud-hiyah for himself and his family. One Ud-hiyah does not suffice on behalf of several households, even if they are inside one fence.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
