Priority in Sacrifice

Question
I want to sacrifice for my parents, myself, and my household (my wife, my daughter, and my sons). How many sacrifices should I make? And if I want to sacrifice for someone every year, who should I start with? Or does the sacrifice include all of us?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The sacrifice is for one person in itself, unless the intention is merely to gift the reward, in which case it is permissible to gift its reward to whomever you wish. You may also specify whom you wish to sacrifice for among those who have rights over you, such as parents and others. And God knows best.
