Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a prescribed ruling in the Sunnah for covering the eye of the sacrificial animal when intending to slaughter it so that it does not see the knife? Hmm? Is there a prescribed ruling in the Sunnah for covering the eye of the sacrificial animal when intending to slaughter it so that it does not see the knife?
Answer:
No, we do not detail this, but do not torment it. You can cover its eyes and leave it, or cover its neck and leave it stretched out. It is not permissible to torment it. Hurry, hurry with it and slaughter it. Do not cover its eye or anything. Yes, because there is no specific time to slaughter it; do it immediately. Yes.
