Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !
(Fatwa: 141/90/D=02/1437) You shall be wakil on behalf of those who want to do their qurbani. Hence it shall be lawful for you to buy animals, pay the charges of butcher and other expenses as per your expediency. It shall be enough for you to include the information as you have done ie “Cost includes payment for butchers and other related expenses”. However you cannot take some amount as your charges. You will have to fix your charges separately or mention it separately. For which you should state that you will carry out the task of collecting money, buying animals and arranging the butcher for animals and for this you shall charge each share holder so and so amount, for example 50/- rupees and that these charges also are included in the total amount. In short being a wakil you may pay others the charges etc as per your expediency but you cannot take it yourself. It shall be necessary for you to fix it separately and express it in the notice.
