Summary
Malik says the best he heard about a camel, a cow and a single sheep is that a man slaughters a camel for himself and his household, and slaughters a cow or a single sheep which he owns, slaughtering it on their behalf and making them partners in it. As for several men buying a camel, cow or sheep together for the rite and sacrifices, each taking his share of its price and having his share of its meat, that is disliked. 1
