NEW DELHI: A Muslim organisation on Sunday urged community members to avoid slaughter of cows as sacrifice during Eid-ul-Azha, pointing out that in light of legal restrictions and apprehension of unrest, it is appropriate to offer another animal as a sacrifice.
The All India Pasmanda Ulema Board (AIPUB) made the assertion in response to a query on offering sacrifice of animals.
“Undoubtedly, ‘qurbani’ (ritual of sacrifice) is an act of worship, and according to the Sharia, cow is indeed included among the animals permissible for sacrifice.
