People from a certain  denomination term this sacrifice as unreligious. Please advise if  castrated goat is allowed to be used as sacrificial animal?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>One  must not pick out a physically defected animal out of the herd. The  stress to offer a physically sound animal for offering is actually more  meaningful for those who have many animals and pick out a sick one for  the offering. This obviously means that they have inferior item to be  given in the way of God. This attitude is harmful for one&#8217;s religious  conviction and should be avoided. <\/p>\n<div>But  what if I have only 7000 rupees and cannot buy a healthier and sound  goat? Should my sacrifice be inferior to that of a millionaire who  offers a goat worth 75,000?<\/div>\n<div>Besides,  the issue you have raised does not involve any defect. Goats are  castrated for some technical reasons. It does not make them defective  and it does not lessen their value.<\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-03<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6743\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A  lot of people sacrifice castrated goats.
