It is narrated from Hazrat Najiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), who was responsible for the camels of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), that I asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): If a sacrificial camel is about to die, what should I do? The Prophet Muhammad (peace 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.
