Lucknow, June 14: The Islamic Centre of India (ICI) has issued an advisory for those who perform animal sacrifices during the upcoming Eid ul Azha festival that will be celebrated on June 17. The ICI has advised them not to click photographs or record videos of the ‘qurbani’ on the occasion.

The guideline is part of a 13-point advisory issued on Thursday. An appeal was issued to sacrifice, in a clean, open space, only those animals which are not restricted by state. Also, blood should be buried so that it could serve as compost to make the soil fertile. Bakrid 2024 Date in India: When Is Eid al-Adha or Bakra Eid?.
