Don’t borrow to slaughter rams – Sanusi


Don’t borrow to slaughter rams – Sanusi
Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi ll
The Emir of Kano and leader of the Central Coordinating Team of Nigeria delegation to this year’s hajj, Muhammadu Sanusi II has urged Muslims not to be forced to slaughter rams for the edi-il-adha (Sallah celebration) if they cannot afford it.

Adult Muslims worldwide who can afford to are expected to observe killings of sacrificial rams and other designated animals.
This is in remembrance of the occurrence between Prophet Ibraheem (Abraham) and his son Prophet Ismaheel (Ishmael) and also to mark the second day of Mount Arafat hajj rite which is also called Eid-il-Kabir.
The Emir who spoke with reporters yesterday on the plain of Mount Arafat (Mountain of Mercy) said the poor should actually benefit from the rich who should give part of their sacrificial ram to them in the spirit of the festival and as instructed by Prophet Muhammad.
Chairman, National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) Barrister Abdullahi Mukhtar Mohammed said during the special prayer for the nation on the Arafat plain that there can never be a better opportunity to pray to Allah to help Nigeria overcome its challenges.
