You mentioned that among the animals that do not suffice for the 'Id sacrifice are the toothless and the dry-cow; are these included in the Messenger's (peace and blessings be upon him) mention of the emaciated?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: You mentioned (may Allah preserve you) in your blessed book, *Al-Mukhtasar al-Fiqhi*, in the chapter or in the explanation of what does not suffice for the 'Id sacrifice, that you said: "And not the toothless one whose front teeth have fallen out from their roots, and not the dry-cow whose udder has dried up of milk." He says: And it was reported in the hadith of al-Bara' that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood among us and said:
Four (types of animals) should be avoided in sacrificeاربع لا تجوز في الاضاحي
Sunan Abi Dawud 2802Sahih (Al-Albani)
. Do the toothless and the dry-cow fall under the category of the emaciated?

Answer:
Yes, indeed. There are other hadiths that are added to this hadith. The toothless one is the one whose front teeth have fallen out from their roots; but if a tooth is broken and its root remains, there is no harm. And the dry-cow, or the one whose udder has dried up due to old age, whose udder has dried up due to old age, this does not suffice. But if her udder has dried up due to a temporary condition and then it returns, there is no harm. Yes.
