In the name of Allah

Considering the obligatory Qurbani (sacrificing sheep, goat, etc.) for a Haji (Pilgram to Makkah) in the Hajj al-Tamattu on the Day of Eid al-Adha, every Haji should offer One Qurbani and not less. so sharing it with another Haji won't work.

However, for a Mustahab (recommended) Qurbani, any number of people can contribute and share the Thawab of one Qurbani.

WasSalaam.

the holy Qur'an says: "We have made the sacrifical animals among the symbols appointed by Allah for you. They are of immense good for you. So in the name of Allah stand in lines. When their flanks collapse eat from them and feed him who is contented and him who begs. In these way We have made this subservient to you so that you may render thanks" (22:36).

It is correct to say that the sacrifice of Eid al-Adha includes killing the ego and obey Allah. Since the order of sacrifice has been given by Allah in this regard, Muslims around the world travel thousands of miles to reach Mecca and perform the rites of Hajj, spending their money, time and energy.

The meat should be divided between rich and poor and this is also a noble act.

With prayers for your success.

It is in fact a practice to kill our own ego through sacrificing animals which we own to feed the poor for the sake of Allah.
