Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: When we were young, our family would prepare henna on the night of the festival. Then we would go into the sheep pen and put henna on the heads of some of the sheep. Would this be like marking and bringing forward, such that it would count as specifying the animal and be prescribed?
Answer:
This is a sign that it is a sacrificial animal, so it is a specification of it. This falls under the category of specifying that it is a sacrificial animal so that it does not get mixed with the others. Yes.
