Riding the sacrificial animal: Abu Hanifah said it is not ridden unless its owner is in hardship

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sinan bin Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told him regarding a voluntary sacrificial animal (hady): "It shall not be eaten. If it is eaten, compensation must be paid."

Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Whoever drives a voluntary sacrificial animal (hady) and it then breaks down (and cannot reach the Sacred Precinct), let him slaughter it short of the Sacred Precinct and not eat from it. If he eats from it, he owes a replacement."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent eighteen sacrificial camels (badanah) with a man, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) told him the instructions concerning them. The man set off, then came back to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "What if one of them breaks down?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Slaughter it, then dip its sandal in its blood, then place it on its flank. Neither you nor any of your companions shall eat from it."

Sayyiduna Najiyah al-Khuza'i (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What should we do with a sacrificial camel (badanah) that breaks down?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Slaughter it, dip its sandal in its blood, and leave this animal for the people so that they may eat it." And it is mentioned that the view of (Imam) Abu Hanifah is: the households of the travelling companions may eat from this animal.
