Purchasing a large size animal which is inedible for Qurbaani

The Fuqahaa have explained that it is more rewarding for one to purchase a Qurbaani animal which has more meat compared to an animal which has less meat in the case where the value of both animals is the same.

However, in the case where the Qurbaani animal is just large in size but its meat is inedible (i.e. its meat is tough), then since the purpose of Qurbaani is also to eat from the meat (and feed one’s family, the poor, etc.) and this purpose will not be obtained, it will be better and more rewarding for one to purchase a good animal for the same price whose meat is edible.

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