MADINAH: Muslim students from the Islamic University of Madinah in the Hejaz Region are participating in the Hajj rituals of Hady 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 support the Hady rituals 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.
Udhiya is a sacrifice carried out by or on behalf of non-pilgrim Muslims 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 Hady rituals according to Islamic law, the SPA added.
