Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I went to a sheep owner to buy an 'Id sacrifice and found one that was good but had a broken horn, and another that was lesser but had an intact horn. Which one should I choose?
Answer:
If the break in the horn is slight and does not reach half—meaning it is less than half—there is no harm in taking the better one. But if its horn is broken by half or more, it is not valid. Yes.
