Qurbaani Animals

Slaughtering exotic animals whose meat is of an inferior quality for qurbaani

Q: I wanted to find out with regards to the size and type of animal for qurbaani. Every year in our house we slaughter lambs (good quality, lovely animals) however in the recent years some family members have been saying that we should get exotic animals, most of these are just for the looks and alot of the time the meat is of an inferior quality.

I wanted to know is there any extra thawaab with regards to slaughtering a bigger/stronger/exotic animal in the eyes of Allah Ta'ala.

Qurbaani of a horse

Q: In my country the price of goat, sheep, and cow is very expensive and it is very hard for us to buy a share in qurbani. I would like to know if we can do a qurbani of a horse and is horse a halal animal?
