Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
For the sacrificial animal (), it is a condition that it be free from apparent defects, such as a clear one-eyed condition, a clear sickness, a clear lameness, a fracture that prevents it from foraging, and anything similar in nature or worse. It is also a condition that it reaches a certain age for each type of sacrificial animal. As for a broken horn or a severed ear, there is a difference of opinion regarding the necessity of being free from these defects.
