The ruling on giving the sacrificial animal water before slaughter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there any evidence for what people do when slaughtering the sacrificial animal, which is leaving it without drinking water before the slaughter?
Answer:
Is there any evidence for this? There is no evidence for it, unless the sacrificial animal needs water. But if it does not need it and is only given water on the occasion of the slaughter, then this has no basis. Yes.
