A Bequest for a Najdi Sacrificial Animal and Disposing of Other Types

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If I have a bequest in which the deceased specified that I should slaughter a Najdi sacrificial animal, is it permissible for me to exercise independent reasoning and slaughter from other sheep because they are better?

Answer:
No, you slaughter what the bequeather specified; you slaughter a Najdi. Yes.
