Animal becoming defective at the time of slaughter

Question:-

What is the ruling if the Qurbani animal was dropped on the ground for slaughter and as a result, a leg broke or the eye burst. In other words, such a defect was created at the time of slaughter. Will the animal still qualify for Qurbani? What should be done with such an animal?

Answer:-

The animal should be slaughtered for Qurbani. If the defect was created when putting the Qurbani animal down (for slaughter), then it will not affect the validity of Qurbani.
