It is narrated from Hazrat Najiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) (who was responsible for the camels of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him) that I asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) what should I do if a sacrificial camel is about to die? The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Slaughter it, dip its sandal in its blood and rub it on its forehead, and leave it for the people so that they may eat it.
