Sorry to mention one important thing in my previous email. For example my brother and myself bought one cattle for sacrifice by 70,000 taka. I have given 40,000 and he has given 30,000. That means I have bought 4 names and he bought 3 names. Even though I have more than 4 family members. So should I give only four name from my family? Or names doesn’t require at all? Both of us want to put parents name. Please enlighten me from Quran and sunnah.
