IRSYAD HUKUM KHAS HAJI DAN KORBAN SIRI KE-87: HUKUM CACAT CELA PADA HAIWAN YANG TELAH DINAZAR UNTUK KORBAN
Is an animal that has been vowed for sacrifice still valid if it becomes defective afterwards, such as developing a limp?
Short answer
Sacrificial animals must ordinarily be free from obvious defects such as blindness, evident illness, an evident limp and extreme emaciation.

Summary
Sacrificial animals must ordinarily be free from obvious defects such as blindness, evident illness, an evident limp and extreme emaciation. This condition is waived when the defect occurs after a specific animal has been designated or vowed as the sacrifice. In that case the animal remains valid for the sacrifice and does not need to be replaced with another. It is slaughtered during the sacrifice period.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika seseorang itu telah menetapkan haiwan yang tertentu (ta'yin) dengan berkata "aku menjadikan haiwan ini sebagai korban" atau telah bernazar untuk menjadikan haiwan yang tertentu sebagai korban kemudian berlaku kecacatan pada haiwan tersebut, maka hukumnya sah untuk ia dijadikan korban
