  • Sheep aged six months to a year, but do not resemble a year old sheep
  • Undomesticated, wild animals e.g. wild bull
  • Any other animal beside domesticated goat, sheep, cattle and camel is not allowed for sacrifice
  • A blind animal or a sunken eye or an animal with its eye sticking out
  • A cross eyed animal
  • A frail weak animal
  • An animal born without ears
  • An animal with more than one-third of its ear cut off
  • An animal that does not have any teeth and is unable to graze. However if it is able to graze it will suffice for sacrifice.
  • An animal with the horns broken at the root and the brain is visible
  • An animal that walks on three legs and does not take support from the lame leg. However if it takes support from the lame leg, it will suffice for sacrifice
  • More than one-third of the tail is cut off
  • An animal with skin disease such as scabies or mange
  • An animal that is deeply wounded
  • An animal with cut teats or dried teats
  • A cut-nosed animal
  • A animal that is hermaphrodite (both sexual organs exist)

Basically, there is no distinction between the two conditions. Udhiyah is the phrase used by the Arabs and Qurbani is used in Urdu and several other dialects. Qurbani is far more well-known among the Muslims of UK and hence, we use the phrase instead of Udhiyah. http://onlinequrbani1.weebly.com/

Famous quotes containing the words animals, allowed and/or sacrifice:

    “Old women snore violently. They are like bodies into which bizarre animals have crept at night; the animals are vicious, bawdy, noisy. How they snore! There is no shame to their snoring. Old women turn into old men.”
    —Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)

    “The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “When there is a choice about it, a great sacrifice is preferable to a small sacrifice, because we compensate ourselves for a great one with self-admiration, which is not possible with a small one.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
