Are the sacrificial animals and all that is slaughtered as an offering to God from the animals of Paradise?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no evidence that sacrificial animals (adhaahi) become animals of Paradise. While a very weak hadith from Zayd ibn Arqam suggests that a Muslim is rewarded for their sacrifice according to the number of hairs on the animal, this is not a strong proof. It has been reported that sheep are among the animals of Paradise, but sacrificial animals are not limited to sheep.
