“What should we pay attention when slaughtering animal?”
It is necessary to pay attention to several issues when slaughtering animal.
“And for all religion We have appointed a rite [of sacrifice] that they may mention the name of Allah over what He has provided for them of [sacrificial] animals. For your god is one God, so to Him submit. And, [O Muhammad], give good tidings to the humble [before their Lord]”, Al-Hajj Ayah 34.
Sacrificial animals are divided into three types:
1. Ibil (camel) that has reached the age of five years.
2. Bagar (cow and buffalo) that is over one year.

Fat means an animal that has a lot of fat and meat. Castrated means one that has had its testicles removed, the uncastrated animal is more complete in a physical sense.
