Eid-ul-Azha: A Call for Responsible Sacrifice and Harmony

Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind chief Maulana Arshad Madani urged Muslims to follow guidelines ahead of Eid-ul-Azha, emphasizing responsible sacrifice without sharing slaughter images and cleaning post-sacrifice. He and former Vice-President Hamid Ansari advocated for cow protection, suggesting the cow be the national animal to prevent mob lynchings.

In a pre-Eid-ul-Azha appeal, Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind's chief Maulana Arshad Madani urged Muslims to adhere to religious guidelines, particularly avoiding the sacrifice of prohibited animals and not sharing graphic images on social media.

Madani recommended following governmental guidelines closely and maintaining community harmony. He also advised organizing volunteer cleanup operations post-festivities.

Amidst these calls, former Vice-President Hamid Ansari echoed Madani's suggestion to declare the cow a national animal, hoping it would curb mob violence and align with the cultural ethos respecting the cow as sacred.
