The condition that the 'Id sacrifice be from livestock
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Regarding the 'Id sacrifice, is it required that it be from livestock?
The Shaykh:
Here, other than livestock, there are camels, cattle, and sheep. I mean, from gazelles, do you want to sacrifice a gazelle? No, that does not suffice. Yes.
The questioner:
You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, that someone who issued a fatwa previously said that it is permissible to sacrifice chickens and others?
The Shaykh:
No, this is a view with no basis, and it is an incorrect view.
