Sah (valid) requirements for the sacrificial animal
According to Islamic teachings, the selection of a sacrificial animal must comply with the appropriate Sharia to ensure the act of sacrifice is valid and accepted, and to bring blessings to those who receive the meat. Nahdlatul Ulama Online notes that prospective sacrificers should consider the following key criteria for the animal to be slaughtered:
Livestock eligible for sacrifice includes camels, cattle, buffalo, goats, or sheep.
Minimum age (sufficient age) for sacrifice as per Sharia. For goats, about one year; for cattle, at least two years.
The animal must be healthy and free from defects, such as being blind, lame, too thin, or suffering from serious or life‑threatening diseases.
The animal should not be in a severely damaged condition that could reduce meat quality, as this could affect the validity of the kurban.
That completes the 2026 price ranges for sacrificial animals along with the conditions for a valid kurban. May it be useful, fellow readers.
