Social activities during Qurban – 2016

This year’s campaign of Grand Mufti’s Office for slaughtering of sacrificial animals during Eid-ul-Adha 2016 was held by “Social” Department under the motto “Qurban brings closer”. Within the campaign were collected 183 sacrificial animals of sheep and goats. All of them were donated from the local Muslims in the country, as well as from the Bulgarian Muslims abroad. The campaign was held in cooperation with similar organizations from abroad, so there were also foreign donors, who sent their offerings in Bulgaria. “Social” Department directly followed the work within the campaign with the assistance of the regional mufti’s offices.

Over 223 cattle and 183 sheep and goats were slaughtered in the country. All of this equals 17440 shares (pie). If we accept that 1 unit equals 10 packages (pie) then this means that thanks to the campaign were supported 17 440 families or nearly 68 760 people (if we accept that every family have averagely four members).

“Social” Department together with representatives of NGOs visited 9 regional mufti’s offices during the days of Eid-ul-Adha in order to have clarity and transparency in slaughtering and dissemination of the qurban meat and in order to meet personally with the needy people in the relevant regions in the country.

May Allah be pleased with all brothers and sisters who sent their offerings to us and may they be given a lot of grace and prosperity both in this world and in the Hereafter!

May Allah accept the qurban of all Muslims.
