Information for "MuwataMalik-017-001-35385"

Yahya related to me from Malik from Umara Ibn Yasar that Ata Ibn Yasar told him that Abu Ayoub AlAnsari had told him; We used to sacrifice one sheep; and a man sacrificed for himself and his family. Then later on people began to compete with each other and it became boasting. Malik said; The best that I have heard about a single camel; cow or sheep; is that a man should sacrifice a camel for himself and his family. He sacrifices a cow or sheep which he owns for his family; and shares with them in it. It is disapproved for a group of people to buy a camel; cow or sheep; to share for the ritual and sacrifices; each man giving a share of its price; and taking a share of its meat. We have heard the tradition that people do not share in the ritual. However; it may be that the people of one household can share.
