Replacing a designated sacrificial animal with a better one
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This man says: A ewe of mine gave birth to a lamb. A ewe of mine gave birth to a lamb. So I designated it as a sacrificial animal. When it grew up, the signs of a fine ram appeared on it, and its value is not less than two thousand riyals. Can I replace it with something better? And is the superiority determined by value and meat, or by meat only? Knowing that some students of knowledge told me that I cannot replace it because I have dedicated it to Allah.
Answer:
Yes, and you have dedicated it to Allah, but if you replace it with something better in value and meat, the value and meat of these two, if you replace it with something better, there is no harm. Yes.
