9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “This is about a man who buys an offering which is defective such as blindness, and so on. Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘If he has paid in cash it is sufficient for him. If he has not paid in cash he can return it and buy another.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘Buy a fatty male for al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous); if you cannot, then find a mawju’ (cow); if you cannot find it then a male goat, if you do not find, then an ewe, if you cannot find then buy what is available for an offering.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘For al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) young sheep is sufficient, a young goat is not sufficient.’ About a man who bought a sheep and wanted to buy one more fat, abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘He can buy it but he sells the first one.’ I do not know if he (the Imam) spoke of sheep or cow.”
