What is the ruling on sacrificing a mad animal?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The mad animal is sufficient. The mad animal is sufficient.

Answer : What does "aqaalah" mean? Yes. I asked why it has intellect? Yes. They say that some animals are mad. Its sign is that when you move it, it stumbles; it does not eat in an organized manner, nor does it sit in an organized manner. It stands and bites this and trembles that, yes, and sometimes it screams, and sometimes it rolls in the dirt, yes, and sometimes it scratches with its legs and hands, and sometimes it spins around. In any case, the scholars said that the mad animal is sufficient, as long as its meat is not deficient in any way and there is no dislike in it. This is because its intellect does not entail legal accountability, so it is not considered deficient in the Shari'ah. Yes.
