A person sent me a sheep and said to me: slaughter it on the door threshold. I did not know the ruling on that before, so what is required of me?

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Forty years ago, when I was ignorant, a person sent me a live sheep and told me to slaughter it on the door threshold. I did not know the ruling on this. Then, after Allah granted me knowledge, I learned the ruling. Is there anything required of me in that matter?
The Shaykh:
Praise be to Allah. As long as you have learned the ruling, recognized the error, and repented to Allah, Allah accepts the repentance of those who repent. Hmm, hmm.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
What is the benefit of learning now? You have learned, praise be to Allah. What is the benefit of learning? Yes.
