Summary
An animal that has lost some of its teeth is valid for qurban if the loss does not reduce its meat and does not hinder its feeding. If all of its teeth are missing, the animal is not valid because of those effects. The ruling follows al-Khatib as-Syirbini, who held that even partial tooth loss invalidates the sacrifice if it affects feeding and reduces the meat.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Haiwan sembelihan korban yang tertanggal sebahagian gigi sah dijadikan haiwan sembelihan korban sekiranya tidak memberi kesan kepada kurangnya daging.
