Students from Islamic University of Madinah to guide pilgrims in Hajj animal sacrifice
MADINAH: Muslim students from the Islamic University of Madinah in the Hejaz Region are participating in the Hajj rituals of Hady and Adahi by offering guidance on animal sacrifice this weekend. Some 300 students representing 40 nationalities will take part in the annual sacrifice of animals through Saudi Arabia's Project for Utilization of Hady and Adahi. Students will educate and guide pilgrims, ensuring adherence to the Prophet's Sunnah during the performance of the rituals, the Saudi Press Agency reported. The project was established in 1983 to carry on the Hady and Adahi rituals on behalf of any Muslim, and supervise the use of Hajj meat and its distribution to the destitute. During pilgrimage, which concludes this year on Monday, June 9, pilgrims are required to sacrifice an animal in a ritual called Hady. Adahi is a voluntary sacrifice for non-pilgrim Muslims which takes place on the day of Eid Al-Adha. In collaboration with the Royal Commission for Makkah City and Holy Sites, the student initiative aims to supervise the rituals according to Islamic law, the SPA added.
