Is a specific age required for the sacrificial animal?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the age of the sacrificial animal, is a specific age required for the white goat or the goat you are referring to?
The Shaykh : Of course, it must be at least one year old, meaning it has passed its first year.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is for the white goat, as you say. As for the black goat, it must be two years old, unless some scholars of language say that it is sufficient for it to have passed half a year, six months.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : But on the condition that it is large in size.
The questioner : Fat.
The Shaykh : Yes, such that it is apparent to the eye that it
The questioner : has passed one year.
The Shaykh : has passed one year. But if it is small in size and has little meat, that is not sufficient, unless it has passed one year. Peace be upon you.
The questioner : Peace and mercy of Allah be upon you.
