Sacrifices - , The age that the animal should have reached for hadiy and udhiyah.

Is there a specific age forthe hadiy and it is not permissible to
slaughter an animal younger than that? What is the meaning of the
words ofAllah (interpretation of the meaning): "sacrifice a Hady
(animal, i.e. a sheep, a cow, or a camel) such as you can afford"
[al-Baqarah 2:196]?.
Praise be to Allaah.
The shar'i evidence indicates that what is acceptable in the case
ofsheep is that which has reached the age of six months; in the case
of goats it is that which hasreached the age of one year; in the case
of cattleit is that which has reached the age of two years; and in the
case of camels it is that which has reached the age of five years.
Anything younger than that is not acceptable as a hadiy or udhiyah.
This is what is meant by "a Hady such as you can afford," because the
texts from the Qur'aan and Sunnah explain one another.
And Allah is the source ofstrength; may Allah send blessings and peace
upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and Companions. End quote.
