The ruling on choosing between a sheep and a seventh of a camel for the 'Id sacrifice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If a person bequeaths an 'Id sacrifice, are the heirs allowed to choose between slaughtering a sheep and sharing in a seventh of a camel, or not?
Answer : Yes, if the deceased bequeaths an 'Id sacrifice, it is obligatory for the executor to choose what is better and more complete. It is well known that a sheep is better than a seventh of a camel or a cow. However, if the bequest is small and not enough for one goat or sheep, but is enough for a seventh of a camel or a cow, then in that case he buys a seventh of a camel or a cow.
