Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a man buys a sacrificial animal and then finds out that it is lame, but he is unsure whether the lameness existed before the purchase or occurred after it, does it suffice for him?
Answer:
If its lameness prevents it from walking with the sound animals, it does not suffice; he should slaughter another one. Yes.
