Is there any harm in slaughtering a sheep that is kneeling?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My father and I slaughtered two camels during Hajj, and they were kneeling. Do we have to pay a fidyah (ransom payment) or not?

Answer:
No, there is no harm in that. However, it is a sunnah (recommended practice) to slaughter it while it is standing. It is not obligatory. If you slaughter it while it is kneeling, there is no harm, but you have left the better option. Yes.
