Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If one wants to give the value of the sheep instead of the sheep, he wants to give its price in riyals.

Answer:
There is no harm in giving the sheep or giving its value. This is at the discretion of the zakah workers; they may take it as sheep, or they may take its value.
