The 'Id sacrifice whose horn broke after it was designated

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If the 'Id sacrifice becomes defective after it has been designated, such as its horn breaking after we bought it, is it permissible for us to offer it as a sacrifice?

Answer:
If it was obligatory before designation by a vow or a bequest, it is not permissible. But if it was voluntary, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
