Ulema, in their Eid sermons will highlight the significance of the philosophy of great sacrifice offered by Hazrat Ibrahim and Hazrat Ismael (AS). After offering Eid prayers, the faithful will offer sacrifice of animals to act upon the Sunnah of Hazrat Ibrahim (AS).

Civic authorities of cities and towns have made special arrangements for disposal of offal and other solid waste during three days of Eid.

The people will visit their near and dear ones to distribute meat and beef of the sacrificial animals.

This year, prices of sacrificial animals are too high and those having limited budget are making efforts to buy the animal.
