Upon whom is Qurbani (sacrificing an animal) compulsory?

Answer

Sacrificing an animal is compulsory upon every adult and sane Muslim who possesses minimum Zakaatable wealth (Nisaab) on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah. It is not necessary to have the wealth for one year as in the case of Zakaat. (Shaami vol. 6 pg. 312; HM Saeed)
