Muwatta Malik #1075
Sacrificial Animals
Yahya related to me from Malik from Amr ibn al-Harith from Ubayd
ibn Fayruz from al-Bara ibn Azib that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, was asked what animals should be
avoided as sacrifices. He indicated with his hand and said, "Four."
Al-Bara pointed with his hand and said, "My hand is shorter than the
hand of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace. A lame animal whose lameness is evident, a one-eyed animal
which is clearly one-eyed, an animal which is clearly ill, and an
emaciated animal with no fat on it."
