Qurbani ki shartain for cow / gaye.
A cow or wacha (young bull) counts as 7 hissay in Qurbani. Minimum age 2 full years. The animal must be physically sound and meet standard Shariah conditions.
Minimum age: 2 years
A cow or wacha must have completed 2 full lunar years. Dant (teeth) checks are used locally to confirm.
Seven shares
One cow = 7 hissay. Each share can be for a different person. All hissay-holders must share the Qurbani intention before slaughter.
Physical soundness
No blindness, no severe lameness, no missing horn to the root, no emaciation. A pregnant cow is acceptable if close to Qurbani time — intention must still be met.
Mixed hissay allowed
Shares for Qurbani and aqiqah can be mixed in the same cow. What matters is every hissa-holder has a valid religious intention.
