Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : For the cattle, two years.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Five years.

The questioner : May Allah bless you.

The Shaykh : Wait, wait.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : A third condition is that it be free from defects that prevent it from being valid.

The questioner : Of course.

The Shaykh : And there are four.

The questioner :
There are four that will not be accepted as sacrifices: The one-eyed animal that is obviously blind in one eye; the sick animal that is obviously sick; the lame animal with anأربع لا تجوز في الأضاحي العوراء البين عورها، والمريضة البين مرضها، والعرجاء البين ولعها، والعجفاء التي لا
