Which is best to offer as a sacrifice, a cow or a ram? | Eid Ul Adha QA
Q: Which is best to offer as sacrifice, a cow or a ram?
A: Offering sheep as sacrifice is better; however, there is nothing wrong in offering cows or camels as sacrifice. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) used to offer two rams as sacrifice, and offered one hundred camels on the day of his farewell pilgrimage. What is meant is that he (صلى الله عليه وسلم) offered sheep as a sacrifice which is best, and he who sacrifices cows or camels- one seventh of a camel, and one seventh of a cow- they are all good deeds and there is no problem in doing so.
