Is it permissible to offer a castrated animal as the 'Id sacrifice?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible to offer a castrated animal as the 'Id sacrifice?

The Shaykh : The correct view is that it is permissible to offer a castrated animal as the 'Id sacrifice, because it is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he offered two castrated rams as his sacrifice, meaning rams whose testicles had been removed. The reason for this is that the meat of a castrated animal is more delicious. Therefore, castration does not harm the animal in any way; it does not harm it in any way. Yes.
