Some people sell Qur'baani animals by weight.

Question

Some people sell Qur'baani animals by weight. The sheep/goat is chosen by the customer. The price is fixed after slaughtering the animal and weighing the meat. Is this correct?

Answer

For the sale of goats/sheep to be valid the essential requirement is that the price must be fixed at the time of the sale agreement. Whatever the price may be must be known and fixed at the time of the sale agreement. Selling by weight as described is not permissible. The sale is faasid (corrupt and not valid), hence the Qur'baani is not valid.
