Summary
The ruling on qurban and aqiqah with imported animals follows the rules agreed upon by the jurists, including the age requirements. A camel must have reached the age of six years, goats and cattle the age of three years, and sheep the age of two years, while a young goat is suitable once it is a full year old and has entered its second year. Importers are advised to make a sincere effort to ensure animals imported for these purposes meet the conditions, since these are ta'abbudi acts of worship that must be performed properly.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Qurban dan Aqiqah telah disyariatkan dalam al-Quran dan Sunnah dan kedua-duanya merupakan sembelihan sunat yang bertujuan untuk taqarrub kepada Allah s.w.t.
