Sayyiduna Najiyah Aslami (Khuza'i) رضي الله عنه, who was taking the sacrificial animal (hadi) of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم, said: I asked the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم, "If the sacrificial camel is about to die, what should I do?" He said: "Any camel that becomes exhausted and is about to die, slaughter it, dip its sandal (which was hung around its neck as a sign) in its blood, and leave it for the people so that they may eat from it."
