A designated 'udhiyah had its ear cut off
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a man took his 'udhiyah after the 'Id prayer, and it was fit for sacrifice, but when he took it, he cut off its ear unintentionally while trying to bring it to the place of slaughter. What is the ruling?
Answer:
If he designated it for the 'udhiyah as a voluntary act, it was not obligatory upon him from the start, but he volunteered this 'udhiyah and designated it. If it became defective after he designated it, he slaughters it. However, if it was obligatory in his debt before the designation, whether it was a vow or a bequest, then if it becomes defective, he does not slaughter it; he slaughters a replacement for it if it was obligatory in his debt before the designation. As for if it became obligatory in his debt only after the designation, and before that it was not obligatory but only recommended, then he slaughters it even if it becomes defective. Yes, correct.
