Hadith 9014

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard one of thepeople of knowledge say, "A man and wife should not share in onesacrificial animal. Each should sacrifice an animal separately."Malik was asked about whether someone who had been entrusted withan animal for him to sacrifice on hajj, who went into ihram for umra,should sacrifice it when he came out of ihram or postpone it so thathe sacrificed it at the time of the hajj while in the meantime he cameout of ihram from his umra. He said, "He should postpone it so that hemay sacrifice it at the time of the hajj, and meanwhile come out ofihram from his umra."Malik said, "If it is judged that some-one must offer an animal for having killed game, or for any otherreason, this animal can only be sacrificed at Makka, since Allah, theBlessed and Exalted, says, 'a sacrificial animal which will reach theKaba.' The fasting or sadaqa that is considered equivalent tooffering a sacrifice can be done outside Makka, and the person who isdoing it can do it wherever he likes."
