Q: If someone does a sacrifice for a special need like for the safety of their travel or for the wellbeing of their children or for business prosperity, etc. can the one who does this sacrifice also eat that meat?
Q: I intend slaughtering a cow for Qurbani and sell shares in it to others intending Qurbani.
Q: If Qurbani was made with the intention of Isale Sawaab (reward for the deceased), then can the one who slaughtered the animal partake of it, or should the entire animal be given in charity?

Q: Is it permissible for a husband to purchase a Qurbani animal on behalf of his wife?
Q: How should a person make up for Qurbani if he did not perform it?
The central theme of Eid-ul-Adha is submission to the Will of Allah Ta'ala and sacrificing everything for His pleasure. Ibrahim (AS) exemplified this spirit of submission and sacrifice in the best possible manner. When confronted with the challenge of love and allegiance, he chose to submit unconditionally to Allah Ta'ala and suppressed his personal desire and love for his family and child.
