Question
If a sheep less than six months old is sufficiently big to pass as a one-year sheep, will it be permissible for Qur'baani?
Answer
A sheep for Qur'baani must be one year. The only time when a six month old sheep will be valid for Qur'baani is if it is placed among one-year old sheep, it will look the same in size. If it is less than six months, it will not be valid for Qur'baani even if it passes off as a year-old.
