The Case of Sacrificial Animal Destroyed Before Offering and Using Its Meat for Food

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from those who narrated to him who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘Whoever drives an offering animal optionally and it is damaged, he is not obligated for anything in this matter. He slaughters it and takes away the shove off its neck, stains it with blood, applies against its hump and he does not owe any replacement for it. Any offering animal, which is as expiation and penalty because of hunting or a vow and becomes damaged, he must do with it as the case above but he owes its replacement. Everything that enters al-Haram (the sacred area) and becomes damaged, the owner does not owe any replacement for it, regardless of being optional or otherwise.’”
