Requirements that Necessitate Qurbani
Question
A sister has a ring on which she pays Zakaah. Is it Waajib for her to perfrom Qurbani? Please elaborate on whom Qurbani is incumbent upon?
Answer
You have stated in your query that she has a ring which is equivalent to Nisaab, hence she is required to discharge Zakaat. Now, Qurbani is Waajib upon every free Muslim who is a resident during the days of Eid (and not a traveller) and owns the Nisaab on the day of Eid-ul-Adha. We understand that you are a free person who is an adult. If you possess the Nisaab on the days of Qurbani, then Qurbani will be Waajib upon you.
ALLAH TA’ALA IN HIS INFINITE KNOWLEDGE KNOWS BEST!
