Summary
A castrated livestock animal is permissible and valid for qurban or aqiqah. Castration is not counted as a defect that invalidates the sacrifice. The ruling relies on the hadith that the Prophet SAW sacrificed two castrated rams, and on scholars who allowed it because castration improves the quality of the meat.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
haiwan atau ternakan yang telah dikasi adalah boleh dan sah untuk dibuat korban atau akikah. Ia tidaklah termasuk dalam kecacatan yang menghalang sahnya sesuatu haiwan untuk dijadikan korban.
