Eid Al Adha Sacrifice Cancelled in Morocco: What It Really Means, And What You Can Do Instead
Marrakech – This year, Eid Al Adha will look a bit different in Morocco. In February, King Mohammed VI made a heartfelt move to suspend the obligatory Eid al-Adha sacrifice for 2025, in response to deepening economic hardship and ongoing droughts that have affected livestock supply across the country. At the heart of Eid al-Adha is not just the act of sacrificing a sheep. It's the story of Prophet Ibrahim's devotion, his willingness to give up what he held most dear for the sake of God. In other words, the intention (niyya) behind the sacrifice matters far more than the act itself. 'It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but it is your piety that reaches Him.' This verse comes from Surah Al-Hajj (The Pilgrimage), verse 37, and it's about the ritual of animal sacrifice during Eid al-Adha and Hajj. Muslims believe that Allah is saying He doesn't need the physical act of sacrifice, as the meat or blood doesn't benefit Him. What matters to instead is one's 'taqwa' (piety, God-consciousness, sincerity). The King's message emphasized this spiritual understanding, urging citizens to remember that Islam allows leniency in difficult times. When hardship makes certain acts burdensome, the religion makes room for mercy. A pressing need Severe drought has significantly reduced Morocco's livestock supply (a 38% drop since 2016), and soaring prices have made it nearly impossible for many families to afford sacrificial animals. Inflation and economic hardship have stretched household budgets thinner than ever. According to a study by Morocco's Center for Economic and Social Studies, the cancellation could save Moroccan families over 20 billion dirhams (around $2 billion USD). So, what can we do instead? Even without the sacrifice, Eid Al Adha is still very much alive. Here are meaningful ways to honour it this year: Redirect the money you would have spent toward supporting those in need. Organizations like Jood, Inssaane, and Bank Al Taam are running food and aid drives. Celebrate with couscous, dates, or a vegetarian tajine — what matters most is being together, not what's on the plate. Eid is a time of compassion. Visit a neighbor, help a single mother, or call someone elderly who may feel alone. Eid prayer Use this unique year to teach young people that obedience, generosity, and trust in God are the true pillars of this celebration. Let go of a grudge. Forgive someone. Give up a bad habit. Spiritual sacrifices can be more powerful than physical ones. What do Islamic scholars say? Moroccan Islamic scholars have emphasized that the sacrifice is not 'fard' (obligatory) but Sunnah Mu'akkadah — a confirmed Sunnah that can be suspended in times of hardship. In a world full of visible hardship, maybe the most meaningful sacrifices are the ones no one sees: patience, prayer, kindness, restraint. So while the streets may be quieter this Eid, our hearts can still be full. Tags: "Feast of the Sacrificeeid al adha 2025morocco eid al adha
