It should be noted that the sacrifice is obligatory on every adult, Muslim, male and female who owns the nisab during the days of Eid al-Adha, (i.e. seven and a half tolas of gold (87.4875 grams) or fifty two and a half tolas of silver (612.4125 grams). or an amount equal to its value is in his possession), or he has in his possession so much goods in excess of his needs and use, the value of which is equal to the value of fifty-two and a half tolas of silver, or a house in excess of the house of residence or If it is property, etc., or if it is surplus household goods, the value of which is equal to fifty-two and a half tolas of silver, or if it is trading property, shares, etc., then it is necessary to sacrifice a part of it. (The goods, whether commercial or non-commercial, if they are not in use, will also be included in the curriculum, so if all the above items together or some of them together, the total value is equal to the value of fifty-two and a half tolas of silver. If so, the sacrifice will be obligatory on its owner as well.
Also, it is not a condition that the wealth, money, or surplus goods of the curriculum have passed for a year in order for the sacrifice to be wajib, and it is not a condition for it to be commercial. Therefore, if on the last day (12 Dhu al-Hijjah) out of the three days of sacrifice, he becomes the owner of wealth equal to the nisab or goods in excess of what he needs and uses, then even then the sacrifice is obligatory on him. Yes, until the days of Eid-ul-Azha, the debt or expenses that are due, will be calculated by deducting that amount.
A person who has houses in excess of a residential house, plots other than a plot for a necessary house, vehicles other than a necessary vehicle, whether all of these are for trade or not, such a person may sacrifice. In truth, there is a teacher, and it is obligatory to sacrifice on him.
It should also be clear that whether such a person is one or more than one person in the house, due to the presence of the above mentioned conditions, if there are several Sahab Nisab people in one house, then it is obligatory for all of them to perform Qurbani separately, and in such a case, according to the Sharia. A single sacrifice will not be enough from the whole family.
