During Eid ul-Adha, Muslims purchase animals for sacrifice to commemorate Hazrat Ibrahim’s sacrifice. Muslims used to buy goats, sheep, cows, and camels, chosen based on cultural and economic factors.
Special markets are also set up for sale of these animals, where buyers select healthy ones that meet religious criteria. The sacrificial meat is divided into three parts: one for the family, one for relatives and friends, and one for the less fortunate, emphasizing charity and community.
