Question
In Bosnia it is the custom for the father/ husband to slaughter one animal for Qur'baani on behalf of all the members in the house. It is said that one animal suffices for the entire family, hence it does not remain Waajib for everyone in the family to make Qur'baani. Is this valid?
Answer
The practice of slaughtering one animal for the household is baatil. It is baseless. It is not Qur'baani. The practice in vogue in Bosnia is bid'ah. Qur'baani is Waajib on everyone who has the Zakaat Nisaab amount during the Days of Qur'baani (10th, 11th and 12th Zil Hajj).
