Question

Can you sacrifice an animal for qurbani if the animal has a number tag pinned to a ear of the animal?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

It is permissible to sacrifice such an animal. The pinning of a tag on the ear of the animal is not regarded to be a defect in the ear.

And Allah knows best
