Question
A few people asked me to purchase Qur'baani sheep for them. They gave the money and I purchased ten sheep for the ten persons. The sheep were not marked or tagged. No one had made any selection. Before Eid, a few sheep ran off and disappeared. How should the remaining sheep be divided?
Answer
Whoever comes first should be given a sheep. If all of them come at one time, then lots will have to be drawn. Those who draw the numbers of the sheep present, will be given the sheep. The others without sheep will have to buy other sheep.
