Follow-up Question:
Answer:
If a cow is shared for Qurbani then it is compulsory to divide the shares according to weight. Dividing the shares by estimation is not permissible, even if all the partners mutually agree to divide the shares by estimation. If the shares are divided by estimation then although the Qurbani will be valid, all those who knew and agreed to dividing the shares by estimation will be sinful; and it is compulsory upon them to do istighfaar and tauba.
The only time it is permissible for the shares to be divided by estimation is when all the shares contain some portion of the feet (trotters) and/or the head and/or the skin of the cow.
