Question :

What is the ruling on sacrificing a hornless sheep?



The Answer :

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.

 

It is valid to sacrifice a hornless sheep (al-Jamma’ or al-Jalha’). Similarly, a sheep with a broken horn is also acceptable; it does not affect the validity of the sacrifice even if the break causes bleeding, unless the injury is so severe that it leads to the spoilage of the meat. And Allah the Almighty knows best.
