Q: Many cattle breeders remove the horns of young bulls for productio purposes. Only a stub is left and the horn never grows back. Is it permissible to slaughter such an animal for Qurbaani?
A: If the horn is broken off from the root, it will not suffice for Qurbaani. However if it is not broken off from the root, it will suffice.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
ويجوز بالجماء التي لاقرن لها وكذا مكسورة القرن وإن بلغ الكسر المشاش لايجزيه والمشاش رؤس العظام مثل الركبتين والمرفقين (الهندية 5/297)
