Question

In terms of exotic breeds of animals such as il de France, Suffolk, Hampshires, most of them come from stud breeders where the animals tails are docked (cut). Is it permissible to sell such breeds of animals for Qurbani?

Answer

If more than one third of the tail is cut, then it will not be permissible to sell or slaughter such an animal for Qurbani.
