A man who buys a sacrificial camel, it strays, and he buys another

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) bought a camel, and it got lost. She bought another camel in its place, and then the first one was found again. She sacrificed both camels and said: "It was in the knowledge of Allah Almighty that I would sacrifice both of them." And that was in a voluntary sacrifice.

It is narrated from Urwah that Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) slaughtered both camels.

It is narrated from Ma'iz bin Malik, or Malik bin Ma'iz, al-Thaqafi: My father sent two sacrificial animals (hady) on behalf of himself, his wife and his daughter, and they got lost at Dhu al-Majaz. When the Day of Sacrifice came, he mentioned this to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: "Wait today, tomorrow and the day after, for these are the three days of sacrifice. If you find your animals, slaughter both of them; and if you do not find them, then on the third day buy two other animals in their place and slaughter them, and do not come out of ihram until you have slaughtered them. Then, if after slaughtering the purchased sacrifice you find the first animals again, slaughter them too."

Abu al-Khasib al-Qaysi sent a sacrificial animal (hady) on behalf of his mother, and it got lost on the way. He bought another animal in its place and put a garland on it; meanwhile the first animal was found as well. He asked Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and he said: "Slaughter both of them."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: "Both animals are to be slaughtered."

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) sent two camels as sacrificial animals (hady), and they got lost on the way. Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) sent two camels for her to sacrifice, and she slaughtered them. Then Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) found the earlier two camels as well, and she slaughtered both of them.

Ali bin Nafi' said: I drove a sacrificial camel (badanah) and lost it, so I bought another one and sacrificed it. Then I found the first one again, and I asked Urwah bin al-Zubayr about it. He said: "Sacrifice both of them."

(Ali bin Nafi' said:) And I asked Ikrimah, and he said: "It is a she-camel from your own camels."

Tawus said: He should sacrifice only the first animal.

Abu Bakr bin Abi al-Jahm said: I asked Qabisah bin Dhu'ayb about it, and he said: "Slaughter both animals together."

Ata said: If the first animal (the one that was lost) was voluntary, he will slaughter both of them; and if the first animal was obligatory, he will slaughter that one, and the other animal is up to him: if he wishes he may slaughter it, and if he wishes he may not.

Al-Hasan and Ata said: If a voluntary sacrificial animal is lost and he buys another in its place and also garlands it, then he will now slaughter both of them; and if he has not yet garlanded it, then he may sell it if he wishes.
