Meaning of being a Sahib e Nisab for Qurbani is that during the days of Eid if one possesses in addition to his residence and the necessary daily needs, seven and a half 7 1/2 Thola of Gold; or fifty two and a half 52 1/2 Thola Silver; or money equal to this value; or having possession of equipments and things apart from that of the basic needs to the value of this amount, then such a person is called a Sahib e Nisab i.e., one who possesses the Nisab of Zakat ( a required amount of money assets that qualifies a person liable of discharging Zakat) and, Qurbani and Sadaqa e Fithr become Wajib upon him. As such according to this order if both questioner and his father are Sahib e Nisab then individually qurbani will be Wajib upon both and not otherwise.
