"Or slaughter a sheep"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said: "Or slaughter a sheep". The author used the word "sheep." Does this refer to a female lamb, or does it refer to something broader than that? The second option is correct: a sheep, whether it is a lamb, a female goat, or a sheep. In fact, it can be a goat or a sheep, or one-seventh of a camel, or one-seventh of a cow. The intended meaning is not specifically a female lamb. Returning to the author's words, he said, may Allah have mercy on him: "Fasting for three days".
