The 'Udhiyah with sheep that have had their tails cut off
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Allow me to speak about sheep from Australia that are raised while still small.
The Shaykh:
It is well known that one should not offer them as a sacrifice; one should avoid them. In some cases, it is obligatory. He said that it suffices, but as for this, it is of no value. The sin, which is the tail, has a status greater than the ear and greater than the horn. Therefore, it is better to be careful about this in gifts and sacrifices; avoiding them is better and safer. Even if there is disagreement on the matter, classifying it with the four defects is more apparent and clearer.
The questioner:
And the hadith in which only the excess is mentioned.
The Shaykh:
To Jabir al-Ju'fi, and this has also been specified. His companion has specified it for the sacrifice, so it is easier. If he has specified it, he must slaughter it knowing that it is defective. But as for the voluntary share, no, it is not necessary. As for the share in which a person volunteers, the matter is easier. If it becomes defective after he has specified it, the obligatory share from obligatory gifts or obligatory vows must be sound.
