for the animals offered; they can be sheep, goats, lambs, cows (buffalos, bulls) or camels (in strong contrast to Judaism). The animals must also be healthy, free from disease, and cannot be blind or one-eyed, missing parts of their tails or ears (docking or cropping animals ears or tails are forbidden act), and must be sacrificed in accordance with dhabihah standards. Most schools of fiqh accept that the animal must be domesticated. Moreover, Islamic law forbids stunning of animals prior to the sacrifice so animals typically have their common carotid artery severed without any form of anesthesia. It is noteworthy that the blood of the sacrificed is discarded, and that no burnt offering analog exists in Islam. The portions of meat are divided in three; one portion goes to the needy and poor, one portion goes to the one performing the sacrifice, and another to their family. One may donate their third to whomever they choose.
