The ruling on sacrificing an animal with a broken horn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, I went to a sheep owner to buy an animal for the 'Id sacrifice, and I found one that was good but had a broken horn, and another that was smaller but had an intact horn. Which one should the one performing the sacrifice choose?
Answer:
If the break in the horn is large, meaning more than half, then it is not sufficient. But if it is less, meaning a small part of the horn, meaning a small portion of it is broken, then this does not affect it. So the one that is better and more generous is better than the ones below it among the sacrificial animals. Yes.
