In light of the spread of hemorrhagic fever affecting livestock, is it permissible to offer money as the value of the sacrifice (udhiyah), especially given the fear of contracting the disease and the statements of some shaykhs that the udhiyah is obligatory even if it cannot be eaten?

The sacrifice is not valid with a sheep afflicted with hemorrhagic fever. If a sheep free from defects that invalidate the sacrifice cannot be found, there is no sin in not offering the sacrifice, as the sacrifice is not obligatory according to the majority of scholars.
