Woman can offer sacrifice on behalf of her parents

Question

Being a daughter, can I give sacrifice for my parents or girls are not allowed to do so?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

There is no difference between a man and a woman concerning the rulings of offering a sacrifice. Therefore, if your parent on behalf of whom you wish to offer a sacrifice is alive and he/she entrusted you to do so, then this is permissible. Likewise, if he/she is dead it is permissible to offer a sacrifice on his/her behalf as already explained in Fatwa 83800.

Allaah Knows best.
