Worked example

A cow bought for Rs 350,000 with 7 partners costs 350,000 ÷ 7 = Rs 50,000 per person. If only 5 partners join, each pays Rs 70,000. Each partner's share counts as a complete qurbani. Partners should agree on the butcher and distribution plan before Eid day to avoid last-minute confusion.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — any number from 1 to 7 can share a cow. One person may also take multiple shares, e.g. 2 shares for himself and deceased relatives, paying for each.

In the Hanafi view, all seven shares should be for acts of worship (qurbani, aqeeqah). If someone joins only for meat, it affects the validity — scholars advise all partners share the qurbani intention.

The meat must be divided by weight, equally among the seven shares — not by estimation. Each partner then divides their own share into thirds: family, relatives/friends, and the poor.
