Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: It was mentioned to us that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prevented 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) from substituting a superior animal with one of greater value. He asks: If he intends to buy a large number of camels in its place and slaughter them, is this permissible?
Answer:
No, because it is designated, and as long as it is designated, the designation must be carried out. Yes.
