Topic: Ruling on the 'Qurbani' of a Bull That Appears Two Years Old but Has Not Actually Reached That Age   (No-24866)

Q For 'Qurbani', is it permissible to offer a bull that is not yet two years old and does not have two teeth, but appears to be equal to or larger in size than a two-year-old bull?

aAccording to Islamic teachings, there is a minimum age requirement for the 'Qurbani' of large animals. The 'Qurbani' of an animal that has not reached this age is not considered valid.
Therefore, if a bull is not actually two years of age, its 'Qurbani' is not valid—even if its size appears equal to or greater than that of a two-year-old bull.
