Should we slaughter a pregnant cow if we cannot afford another animal?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
What is the condition if we found out that Qurbani animal is pregnant (Cow) we have argument that it is better not to slaughter if we know the animal is pregnant and we afford to have other animal.
(2) If we are unable to afford other animal for it then we can slaughter this animal but we request you to please let us know what should be done exactly in such situation.

Answer

(Fatwa: 333/333/M=1434)

It is makrooh to do Qurbani of a pregnant buffalo that is going to give birth soon. If the person knows that the buffalo is pregnant and that person is owner of nisab then he should not slaughter the buffalo, rather he should buy other animal and offer its slaughter. But if that person is poor and unable then there is no harm if he slaughters the same animal.
