Question
I read a Hadith which mentions that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) made Qur'baani of one camel for the entire Ummah. But a camel has only seven shares. Please explain.
Answer
You too may make Qur'baani of one animal and ask Allah Ta'ala to bestow the thawaab of the Qur'baani to the entire Ummah. But this will not absolve others of making their Qur'baani. Bestowing the thawaab and making Qur'baani are two different acts. While seven persons can sacrifice one camel/cow for their Qur'baani obligation, the reward may be for any number of people for which one intends.
