Chapter on Sacrificial Offerings
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 3|Chapter 136
وَ سَأَلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ أَخَاهُ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَشْتَرِي اَلضَّحِيَّةَ عَوْرَاءَ فَلاَ يَعْلَمُ إِلاَّ بَعْدَ شِرَائِهَا هَلْ تُجْزِي عَنْهُ قَالَ «نَعَمْ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ هَدْياً فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَكُونَ نَاقِصاً».
Ali ibn Ja'far asked his brother Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim عليه السلام about a man who purchases a sacrificial animal that is one-eyed, but he only realizes it after buying it. Does it suffice for him? Imam عليه السلام replied: "Yes, unless it is for a hady (sacrificial offering for Hajj), for it is not permissible for it to be deficient."
