Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, I went to a sheep owner to buy a sacrificial animal, and I found one that was good, but its horn was broken, and another that was smaller, but its horn was intact. Which one should I choose?
Answer:
If the break and the loss of part of the horn did not reach half, meaning it is less than half, then there is no harm, and this does not affect it. However, if it reached half or more, then it is not acceptable. Yes.
