The Ruling on Weighing the Meat After Slaughtering the Sacrifice
Is it permissible to weigh the sacrifice after it has been slaughtered and delivered, and the price of the meat has been paid, or must the sacrifice be weighed alive so that its hair and blood are counted in the good deeds of the one who offers the sacrifice?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: the weight after slaughter is a method of estimation. If it is customary and there is no dispute about it, it is permissible. You have the right to everything that comes from it, including skin, head, and hanging. The weight is merely a means of estimation, and thus nothing of the reward is lost. And God knows best.
