Ruling on Participating in the Sacrifice

Question
Is it permissible for a husband and wife to share in the cost of the sacrifice?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The sacrifice is obligatory for everyone who owns the nisab of zakat, which is 100 grams of gold. If one does not possess it, it is not obligatory for them. If neither spouse possesses it, it is not obligatory for them, and whatever they do would be voluntary. They can perform it once for the man and once for the woman, and God knows best.
