Ruling on the Difference of Intention When Participating in Slaughter
If seven people participate in the slaughter of a cow, and one of them intends to slaughter for a vow or aaqiqah, while the others intend to offer a sacrifice, is it a condition that the intentions of the slaughterers be unified in the case of joint slaughter?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to have different intentions when participating in the cow for sacrifice and others, provided that their intention is for closeness to God. However, if one of them intends the meat, it is not permissible, and it does not suffice. And God knows best.
