1503. Hujayyah bin 'Adī narrated, " 'Alī said: 'A cow is for seven.' I said: 'And if it is gives birth?' He said: 'Then slaughter its offspring with it.' I said: 'What if it is lame?' He said: 'When it has reached the place of the ritual.'[1] I said: 'What if it has a broken horn?' He said: 'There is no harm. We were ordered' – or – 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ordered us, to check the two eyes and the two ears.'" (Hasan)

Commentary
If an animal for sacrifice is pregnant and gives birth to a calf, it should be slaughtered with the animal. Imām Shāfi'i supports this view, but in the view of Imām Abū Hanīfah, the calf can be given alive to some needy and poor person. If it is slaughtered with the animal, atonement will be paid for it. (Al-Mughnī v. 13 p. 375.)
