Hadith #1245

Arabic Text

English Translation

Ubayd ibn Fayruz said: I asked al-Bara' about what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited from sacrificial animals. He said: 'Four animals do not suffice: the one-eyed animal whose defect is obvious, the lame animal whose lameness is obvious, the sick animal whose sickness is obvious, and the broken-boned animal that has no marrow.' He said: I said to al-Bara': I dislike defects in the teeth, ear, and horn. He said: Whatever you dislike, leave it, but do not declare it forbidden for anyone.
