Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And his saying, "Four things do not suffice except a hornless animal," indicates that other defects, such as a cut-off ear or a broken horn, are sufficient. Is there weakness in the narration?
The Shaykh:
Combining the hadiths with one another, or combining the hadiths with one another, yes.
The questioner:
May Allah help you.
The Shaykh:
The hadith of Ali is authentic, meaning that he sacrificed an animal with a broken horn is authentic. Yes.
Another questioner:
That we should inspect the eye and the ear, and that we should not sacrifice an animal that is blind in one eye or deaf in one ear.
The Shaykh:
It indicates that it should be sound in complete soundness, but if it is exposed to a defect, a slight amount is excused, but it is better to have soundness from it.
