Questions about qurbani: Can I keep one sheep for myself and give the others to family and the poor?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftisays.com
Assalamu-aliakum,

1. If I have to give 3 sheeps for qurbani, can I keep one for myself, give one to family and friends and give one whole sheep to the poor? Or do I have to cut all 3 sheeps and distribute?

2. When dividing the sheep in 3 parts, do we divide the meat only or do me also include the organs of the animal (lungs, heart, head, feet, etc.)

Jazak-Allah.

Answer
Bismihi Ta’ala

It is not necessary to divide each sheep into three parts. One may be kept for yourself, whilst the other two maybe distributed amongst relatives and the poor.

Also, the other organs do not have to be included, it’s entirely upto you. After all, some people do not even eat those other organs.

And Allah knows best

About 2 years ago I had very severe problems with doubts in taharah and salat. AlhamduLillah, these times are far away, and I feel myself much more comfortable. But unfortunately now I suffer from some new doubts which appeared recently. The first problem is regarding materials which doesn’t penetrate water. Before wudhu I’m in doubt whether there are some of them on my heels and near nails. For example, if I have few yarns stuck to my heels, I don’t know whether they are synthetic ones (which don’t penetrate water) or not. Because there are just a few yarns, I can’t advocate whether they penetrate water or not. Also sometimes I find hair stuck to my nails or heels, and again I’m in doubt whether it penetrates water or not. Also if I have some dirt, I’m also in doubt whether it contains some small amount of water-not-penetrating materials. So, my wudhu becomes quite a long procedure, where I try to look at my heels and nails thoroughly trying to remove all the dirt, yarns, stuck pieces of hair. The second problem is in washing my face. I know that we can’t wash one limb with water which was used for washing another limb. So the doubt is as follows: if washing the face my palms will touch hair, I start to think, that on my hands there is water which was used washing my hair, not the face, so I wash my hands, and continue washing the face with new water. The other problem is that I don’t know what part of eyes should I wash – I understand that we don’t need to wash eyes themselves, but what’s about the red area which is near roots of eyelashes (above, under, right and left to eyes)?
