Prominent Muslim organisation Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind on June 26 urged Muslims to strictly follow government guidelines while offering sacrifice on Eid-ul-Azha and not to share pictures of slaughtered animals on social media.
Eid ul-Azha, also called the festival of sacrifice, will be celebrated on Thursday.
Muslims across the globe offer a sacrifice of animals as permitted by law in their respective countries as a symbol of the willingness and obedience to God that Prophet Ibraham showed in offering his son Ismael as sacrifice.
