The Conditions of the Sacrificial Animal 

 1 It is not lawful to offer a sacrifice of any animal or bird except pastoral animals, namely sheep, cows or camels.

 

2 One sheep or goat would suffice for a man and his household, and seven different households may share a cow or a camel.

 

3 The sacrificial animal must be of the right age. A sheep must be at least six months, a goat one year old, a cow two years old, and a camel five years old.

 

4 It should be free from apparent defects, because the Prophet ﷺ said, “There are four [types of animals] that will not do for sacrifice: a one-eyed or blind animal whose defect is obvious, a sick animal whose sickness is obvious, a lame animal whose lameness is obvious and an emaciated animal that has no marrow in its bones.” (Sunan An-Nasaa’ee: 4371; Sunan At-Tirmidhee, 1497).

• It is forbidden to sell any part of the sacrificial animal.

💥 The scholars explained that 

emaciated is a meager that does not contain flesh. As for what is not purified, it is the brain that is inside the bones of the animal. Because it is meager, but if it is fat, and because of its ghee the bone marrow is not formed, it is permissible.
