Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: Which is better for the 'Id sacrifice, a sheep or a cow?

Answer: The 'Id sacrifice from sheep is better, and if one sacrifices with cows or camels, there is no blame on him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to sacrifice with two rams, and he gave one hundred camels as gifts on the day of the Farewell Pilgrimage. The point is that whoever sacrifices with sheep, that is better, and whoever sacrifices with cows or camels, a camel for seven people and a cow for seven people, all of it is good and there is no blame.
