Q: Is it valid
to intend the slaughtered Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) to offer it as an Ud-hiyah and charity on behalf of dead parents
or those who are still alive?
A:
It is permissible for the person and family members to eat from the Ud-hiyah and give charity from it to the needy. One sheep is sufficient for the intended people of family members whether alive or dead because the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended.
Also, the Prophet (peace be upon him) offered one ram as an Ud-hiyah on behalf of himself and his household.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
