Summary
Goats are judged by their original nature as domesticated livestock, even if they are left to roam free. The respondent leans towards permitting feral goats, since the essential nature of a goat remains and it is wild only because it is not raised by people. On age, the text requires two years without mentioning an extra day, so exactly two years or two years and a day both satisfy the condition.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Islam melihat kepada asal sesuatu. Kambing pada asalnya ialah binatang ternakan yang jinak, maka dikira jinak. sekalipun dilepaskan, sebaliknya kijang dianggap liar sekalipun dibela dan dijinakkan.
