Eid’l Adha to be held on July 9, 2022, says Bangsamoro Darul-Ifta

The Eid’l Adha or the Feast of Sacrifice will be held on July 9, the Islamic advisory council in the Bangsamoro Region or the Bangsamoro Darul-Ifta announced Thursday.

“By virtue of the authority vested in me as Bangsamoro Mufti, I hereby announce that the Eidul-Adha sacrificial festival this year will be on Saturday, July 9,” Mufti Abuhuraira Udasan said in a statement.

 

During Eid'l Adha, Muslims slaughter sheep, goats, cows, and camels to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son on Allah's command.

It is one of the two important holidays in the Muslim calendar, the other being Eid'l Fitr, which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.—Joahna Lei Casilao/AOL, GMA News
