أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْعُشَرَائِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمَا تَکُونُ الذَّکَاةُ إِلَّا فِي الْحَلْقِ وَاللَّبَّةِ قَالَ لَوْ طَعَنْتَ فِي فَخِذِهَا لَأَجْزَأَکَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4423
It was narrated from Abu ‘Ushara’ that his father said: “I said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, is slaughtering only in the throat or upper chest?’ He said: ‘If you stab it in the thigh, that will suffice.” (Da‘if)
