Where to sacrifice?
Published in Almasry Alyoum on 26 - 11 - 2009

With Eid el-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, on our doorsteps, Muslims buy domestic animals such as goats, camels, sheep, and cows to slaughter. The whole process of slaughtering may take place even at homes, or at the butcher's. Al-Masry Al-Youm interviewed people on the street to know where they prefer to slaughter their sacrifice.
Ekram Hany, 25, pharmacist: "My dad usually has his sacrificial animal slaughtered at the butcher's because he never comes on time if we are to slaughter at home. I prefer it at the butcher's as well in order to keep the home clean."
Noha Mosaad, 31, housewife: "We usually slaughter the sacrificial animal at our house yard, because the butcher doesn't come on time."
Sameer Abdel Hady, 52, owner of a clothes company: "I always have my sacrificial animal slaughtered at the butcher's, but not the same one of every year according to the type of the sacrifice and the price."
Sobhy Abdel Sadeq, 46, worker at a gas station: "I won't buy a sacrificial animal this year because I'm not used to, so I'll just but meat."
Sameer Khalaf, 52, owner of a shop: "I'll have the butcher slaughter my sacrificial animal because my place isn't big enough. I used to do it before in the apartment but that was really a mess. And all the poor gather so I feel it's unfair to distribute it among those who may take from many others. For this I do it at the butcher's so I can share it with whom I believe they deserve."
Sara Mohamed, 27, insurance specialist: "My family used to slaughter their sacrificial animal at a farm in Sharkiya but that was really exhausting especially to my mother. Two years ago, we started to pay for the “sacrifice deed” of the Food Bank. I believe it's much better as I'm sure they share it with whoever deserves."
Ayman Wahba, 42, security guard: "I won't have a sacrificial animal due to my financial circumstances, so I will just buy meat."
Mohsen Ahmed, 52, a bank manager: "I always have my sacrificial animal slaughtered at my own farm in Ismailia. I never had it slaughtered at the butcher's since I have my own place."
Ragab el-Saadawy, 40, a fruit seller: "We used to slaughter a sacrificial animal every year, but this year we won't because my uncle died."
Waleed Sameer, 26, branch manager of a restaurant: "My family and relatives usually slaughter their sacrificial animal at our building in Maadi as the garage is wide enough to accommodate everyone's mess of its sacrifice."
