Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Do you prefer camels or cows for the hady and the 'Id sacrifice? Are they preferred over sheep, even if he only has one-seventh of them?
Answer:
No, the sheep is better than one-seventh of a camel or one-seventh of a cow. There is no doubt that the sheep is better than one-seventh of a camel or one-seventh of a cow. However, if it is a camel, it does not accept sharing; it is not for seven people, but for one person only. He slaughters it for one person. Yes.
