Law regarding the sacrifice of the Nilgai, Deer and Stag for Qurbani

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Jamia Binoria

What is the law regarding the sacrifice of the following animals for Qurbani: Nilgai, Deer and Stag.
Some stags are of the size of goats and some are of the size of cows. Stags are reared and used domestically in cold places. Will the sacrifice of a stag for Qurbani be valid? And if so, will it follow the law of a cow or a sheep?

الجواب حامدا و مصلیا

Only the sacrifice of domestic/lifestock animals are valid for Qurbani. The sacrifice of wild animals are not valid as per Shari’ah. Hence, the sacrifice of the mentioned animals for Qurbani is not permissible.
And Allah knows best.
