Summary
Accepting animals donated by non-Muslims is permissible, based on the allowance of dealing with non-Muslims. If the donor states that the animal is meant as a sacrifice, that sacrifice is invalid and it is treated only as a donation, since sacrifice is not required of non-Muslims. The recipient may offer it as a sacrifice and it is valid, because the animal has become the recipient's property. Mosques, suraus or institutions may use the animal for any purpose that accords with Islamic law.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum menerima haiwan yang disumbangkan oleh orang bukan Islam adalah harus atas dasar keharusan bermuamalat dengan orang bukan Islam.
