If the sacrificial animal falls ill:

It is narrated from Najiya Al-Khuza’i رضي الله عنه, the caretaker of the Prophet Muhammad’s صلى الله عليه وسلم sacrificial camels, that I said: O Messenger of Allah! If one of the sacrificial camels falls ill and is unable to walk, what should I do? He صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Slaughter it, then dip its foot in its blood and mark its chest with it, then leave it for the people.”
