Ubaid bin Firoz said: I asked Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him): From which things did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibit in sacrifice? He replied: Four types of animals are not sufficient for sacrifice: first, one-eyed whose defect is obvious; second, lame whose lameness is evident; third, sick whose illness is apparent; fourth, old such that there is no marrow left in its bones. Ubaid said: I said to Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him): I do not like an animal with a defect in its tooth, ear, or horn. He said: Leave what you do not like, but do not make it unlawful for anyone else.
