Slaughtering an animal whose horn is broken off for Qurbaani

· 28 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Many cattle breeders remove the horns of young bulls for production purposes. Only a stub is left and the horn never grows back. Is it permissible to slaughter such an animal for Qurbaani?

Answer

If the horn is broken off from the root, it will not suffice for Qurbaani. However if it is not broken off from the root, it will suffice.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
