Do financially stable adults need to perform Qurbani every year, or is it a one-time obligation like Hajj?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

It is not wajib to perform a sacrifice yearly, unless you have done an oath for that. Otherwise, the only wajib time is when doing your Hajj pilgrimage. Of course, it is a highly recommended act, especially on Eid al-Adhha, but not wajib, even if you are financially stable.

And Allah knows best
My sister is about to get married. Should we calculate the amount we can spend on Qurbani for Eid al-Adha after deducting the expense of that marriage?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Qurbani is not obligatory but only in Hajj. You can spend whatever you want in Qurbani as a highly recommended worship.

Is Qurbani on Eid al-Adha also compulsory on those who are not doing Hajj?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Qurbani is compulsory on pilgrims during Hajj but recommended for those who are not in Hajj.

How many people can contribute in a single goat Qurbani on Eid al-Adha?
Seyed Saied Alavi

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.
