Question :

Is it permissible to sacrifice imported livestock (Such as Romanian, Australian, etc.)?



 


The Answer :

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.

 

As long as the sheep meets the prescribed Sharia age and is free from disqualifying defects, it is valid for sacrifice regardless of its country of origin. Therefore, it is permissible to offer sacrifices from various sources, such as: Romanian, Australian, Spanish, Indian, Sudanese, local (Baladi) livestock, and others. And Allah the Almighty knows best.
