The Ruling on Buying a Sacrificial Animal from the Camel Market
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We entered the state of ihram and were in the state of tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them). I went down to the camel market to choose an animal. I was keen for it to be five years old, but I was not sure of the age of that animal. I asked the one who sold it to me, and he told me that it had reached the age of five years. I have no experience in selecting these animals, and I am not sure about the age of the one who sold it to me. What should I do now? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
What is sold in the markets of the Muslims during the time of Hajj, you buy from it and slaughter it. There is no harm in that, because there is supervision that prevents what does not meet the conditions; they prevent it from entering the market.
