A man who kills game and offers a sheep

Abd al-Rahman says: I was with Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) when a man came and said: "I sent a camel as a sacrificial animal (hady), and I lost it on the way. Will that camel suffice on my behalf?" He said: "If it was for a vow or an expiation, then fulfil it at the House (of Allah); it has not been fully discharged on your behalf. And if it was a voluntary sacrifice, then it has been discharged." The narrator says: I said: "Even if it is a sheep?" He said: "Yes, even if it is a sheep."
