Summary
An animal with a broken or cracked horn is valid for qurban if the break does not damage its meat. If the broken horn harms the meat, the sacrifice is not valid. Having no horns does not affect validity because it is a minor defect, though it is disliked (makruh). It is recommended to choose a perfect, well-fed animal with horns.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tanduk terpatah atau pecah yang tidak memberi kesan pada kerosakan daging adalah harus dan sah dijadikan sembelihan korban.
