Do not slaughter anything but a Musinnah if available

The Prophet Muhammad taught us that when we are sacrificing an animal, we should only sacrifice a healthy animal known as a Musinnah. If it is difficult to find such an animal, then we can sacrifice an unhealthy one known as a Jadh'ah. This hadith teaches us the importance of being mindful of our actions and how they affect other living creatures. It also reminds us that Allah has given us certain guidelines and laws that must be followed in order for our actions to be considered righteous and acceptable in His eyes.
