Can You Be Forced to Sacrifice an Indestructible Creature in MTG?
Indestructible creatures think they're tough, until they meet a sacrifice effect. It’s like rock, paper, scissors: Indestructible beats destroy, sacrifice beats indestructible. Simple as that.

No way, indestructible means it's safe from everything, right? Wrong! Sacrifice effects bypass indestructible since you're technically not 'destroying' it. Always read the card effects carefully!
Absolutely! Indestructible means a creature can't be destroyed by damage or effects that say 'destroy.' But if an effect or ability specifically tells you to 'sacrifice' a creature, being indestructible doesn't save it. So yes, your indestructible creature can still be sacked.
