On Whom is Qurbani Wajib (obligatory)?
Qurbani is Wajib (obligatory) on every Muslim who is
* of sound mind - mature (has reached the age of puberty),
* Muqeem (i.e. he is not a Shari traveller)
* possesses the amount of 612,36 grams of silver or wealth equivalent to that value which is in excess of one's basic needs and debts on any of the three days of Qurbani. It is not necessary that this amount be in one's possession for a complete lunar year. (Fatawa Hindiyyah)
Note:
1. Qurbani is not incumbent on a child or an insane person whether they own wealth equivalent to the amount above or not, nor is it Wajib upon their guardians to perform it on their behalf. (Fataawa Mahmoodiyyah)
2. Similarly, it is not Wajib on a musafir (one considered a traveller in Shariah). A Shar'i traveller is he who proceeds on a journey with an intention of travelling 77 kms. He will be treated as a traveller as soon as soon as he departs his town. However if he intends residing at any place for 15 days or more then he will cease to be a traveller there. (Fataawa Hindiyyah)
3. A person upon whom Qurbani is not necessary should not incur debts beyond one’s capacity to offer the Qurbani.
4. If Qurbani is not compulsory on a person, for example, a musaafir then it is virtous to do so if it is within the person’s means.
The Physical Qurbani
During the days of Qurbani, Sadaqah and charity will not compensate for the physical observance of Qurbani. Just as Zakah cannot compensate for Hajj, nor fasting compensate for Salaah, similarly charity cannot compensate for Qurbani. However, if the days of Qurbani have passed, and the Qurbani was not offered due to ignorance, negligence or for some other valid reason, then it becomes Wajib to give in Sadaqah the price of Qurbani animal or the unslaughtered animal itself to the poor. (Fataawa Shaamiyya)
Time for Qurbani
The time for Qurbani begins after the Eid Salaah on the 10th of Zul Hijjah and ends at the setting of the sun on the 12th of Zul Hijjah. It is better to make Qurbani on the first day then the second, and thereafter the third. (Fataawa Shaamiyya)If the Qurbani has been offered before the 'Eid Salaah, it will have to be repeated. (Fataawa Hindiyyah)
It is preferable to slaughter during the day. (Fataawa Hindiyyah)
In rural and village areas where Jumu'ah and 'Eid Salaah are not performed, Qurbani may be performed as soon as Fajr (Subhus Saadiq) sets in on the 10th of Zul Hijjah. (Fataawa Hindiyyah)
If a person residing in a town (where Eid salaah is performed) arranges for his animal to be slaughtered in a village (where Eid Salaah is not performed), then it is permissible for his animal to be slaughtered before he performs his Eid Salaah. (Fataawa Shaamiyyah)

Distribution of the Qurbani Animal
The Meat of the Sacrificed Animal
1. The meat of the animal which has more than one share should be distributed by weighing it and not by estimation unles the head and feet and skin form part or the distributed shares. (Fataawa Shamiyyah)
2. It is preferable to divide the meat into three parts. One part for one’s family, another should be distributed among friends and relatives and the third amongst the poor and needy. If a person has a very large family he may keep all the meat. (Fataawa Shamiyyah)
3. It is unlawful to sell the Qurbani meat. (Fataawa Hindiyyah)
4. It is not permissible to tender the skin or meat as payment to the slaughterer (or skinner). Their fees should be paid separately. (Fataawa Shamiyyah)
5. It is not permissible to give meat, fat, etc. of the sacrificed animal to the butcher as compensation for services rendered. (Fataawa Shamiyyah)
6. The meat of the voluntary (Nafi) Qurbani, which has made for a deceased person may be eaten by all, just like one’s own Qurbani.
7. Qurbani meat may be consumed by oneself and may be served to others,for example, at a Walima.
8. Qurbani meat may be given out cooked or uncooked.
9. It is not permissible for one to eat the meat of the following Qurbani’s:
1. Qurbani that is made as a Kaffaarah for a Jinaayat (error / mistake) committed during Hajj/ Umrah.
2. Qurbani made for a deceased person on his Wasiyyat i.e. his instruction before his death.
NB. The meat of the above-mentioned Qurbani's have to be distributed to the poor and needy only.
The Skin of the Qurbani Animal
1. It is permissible to utilize the skin for one’s personal use, eg. he may use it as a Musalla or a leather bucket etc. However, if the skin is sold, it is not permissible to use the income thereof. It is Wajib to give it in charity. Sale of the skin without the intention of disbursing the money in charity is not permitted. (Fataawa Hindiyyah)
2. It is not permissible to give the skin in lieu of any services rendered. (Fataawa Hindiyyah).
3. The needy and poor students of Islamic institutions are the most favourable beneficiaries of these skins. This entails the reward of Sadaqah which is coupled with the service of reviving Ilm (religious knowledge). However, it is not permissible to give these skins to the teachers and laborers of the institutes as wages or salaries.

Should Qurbani be only for Allah (SWT)?
Asalaam Alaikum.
I have often heard this amongst my relatives that when they are doing Qurbani, one makes sure for whom they are doing it fot or in whose names are they doing it. For example one would say they are doing it in the name of their grandfather, child or wife and so and so...I don't understand that. Isn't sacrifice only and only suppose to be for the sake of Allah (SWT)? Is the issue I mentioned above just another innovation in our deen?

IT is not a biddah to take the name of the person on whose name qurabni
is done .
Asalaam Alaikum,
Jazak'Allahu Khairan for the clearification.

Also when doing Qurbani for someone else (baligh), you have to make sure you have their permission first, otherwise Qurbani for them will not be valid.

Asslamu'alaikum,
I got this from Taleemul Haq
I'm sorry my mistake, I re-read it again, and it said, '...on behalf of a person on whom Qurbani is Waajib' , and Qurbani is Waajib on a person who is Baligh and reaches the Nisaab for Zakkat (even if not for a full year). So the Qurbani wasn't Waajib upon you and siblings (unless you possessed the Nisaab for Zakaat.)10. If a person carries out Qurbani on behalf of a person on whom Qurbani is Waajib, without his permission and without his knowing; this Qurbani will not be valid. If it is done with his permission or instruction, it is permissible.
wallahu A'alum
ps. The Taleemul Haq link is good if you want to know more about Qurbani.
