Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh says: Some pilgrims choose very young hady, and the price is cheap, regardless of the abundance of meat and the absence of defects. Is this sufficient?
Answer:
No. The conditions for the hady are the same as those for the udhiyah. It must be free from defects that harm the meat, free from illness, free from lameness, free from blindness, free from emaciation, and free from old age and decrepitude. These are the conditions for the hady. If it is a sheep, it must be at least six months old. If it is a goat, it must be at least one year old. If it is a cow, it must be at least two years old. If it is a camel, it must be at least five years old. Yes.
