Commentary
The Arabic term used in the text of the report is A'adab. Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab has offered the explanation of this very expression. He states that an animal whose horn is slightly broken is not called A'adab. Rather if half or more than half part of the horn is broken, then sacrificing such an animal is forbidden. In other words, the position of the horns is not like that of the ears. In them, a slight defect is excused.
