Is it permissible to make Qur'baani of sheep without tails?

Question

Is it permissible to make Qur'baani of sheep without tails? Farmers cut off the tails for health reasons. Some Ulama say that it is permissible to sacrifice these sheep.

Answer

While "some Ulama" say that it is permissible, the Shariah says that it is not permissible to make Qur'baani of sheep without tails regardless of the reasons for cutting off the tails.

If sheep with tails are not available, goats are available. Qur'baani of tailless sheep is not valid.
