Hujiyyah narrates that a man asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) about a cow. He said: On behalf of seven people. He asked: If its horn is broken? He said: This thing will not harm you. He asked: If the animal is lame? He said: When it reaches the place of sacrifice, then slaughter it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to carefully observe the eyes and ears.
