al-Shafi'i and Sa'id ibn Jubayr held this view. It was narrated from Ibn Umar that he ate from his sacrificial animal that had become defective and did not replace it. Malik said: "It is permissible for his companions and for other people, except for its owner or the person driving it. He should not order anyone to eat from it, but if he eats, or orders someone to eat, or cuts off a piece of its meat, he is liable for it." Ibn Abd al-Barr argued for this based on what Hisham ibn Urwah narrated from his father, from Najiyah ibn Ka'b, the companion of the sacrificial animals of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), that he said: "O Messenger of Allah, what should I do with a sacrificial animal that has become defective?" He said: "Slaughter it, then dip its garlands in its blood, then strike the side of its neck with it, then leave it between it and the people." He said: "This is more authentic than the hadith of Ibn Abbas, and it is the practice followed by the jurists." The general wording of his statement, "and leave it between it and the people," includes his companions and others. Our evidence is what Ibn Abbas narrated, that Dhu'ayb Abu Qabisah told him that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) used to send the sacrificial animals with him, then say: "If any of them becomes defective, and you fear for it, then slaughter it, then dip its sandal in its blood, then strike its side with it, and do not eat from it yourself, nor should anyone from your companions.". Narrated by Muslim.
