find except a she-goat or a she-camel borrowed for milk or other benefits,

in faith, and I am not one of the polytheists. My prayer, and my service of
sacrifice, my life and my death are all for Allah, the Lord of the Universe,

fingers, and my fingertips are smaller than his fingertips. He said (pointing
with his fingers): Four (types of animals) should be avoided in sacrifice: A
One-eyed animal which has obviously lost the sight of one eye, a sick animal
which is obviously sick, a lame animal which obviously limps and an animal
with a broken leg with no marrow. I also detest an animal which has defective

So I abominated it. What do you say (about it)? He said: Why did you not bring
it to me? He said: Glory be to Allah: Is if lawful for you and not lawful for
me? He said: Yes, you doubt and I do not doubt. The Apostle of Allah

much so that its hole appears (outwardly), and an animal whose horn has broken

of the animal (meant for Aqiqah), you may take a few hair of it, place them on

born to him and wishes to offer a sacrifice on its behalf, he may offer two
resembling sheep for a boy and one for a girl. And he was asked about fara'.
He replied: Fara' is right. If you leave it (i.e. let it grow till it becomes
a healthy camel of one year or two years, then you give it to a widow or give
it in the path of Allah for using it as a riding beast, it is better than
slaughtering it at the age when its meat is stuck to its hair, and you turn
over your milking vessel and annoy your she-camel.

When a boy was born to one of us in the
