Eid al-Adha will officially be celebrated in Tajikistan this year on May 27. The Council of Ulema of the Islamic Center of Tajikistan has set the date based on lunar observations and the conclusion of the Institute of Astrophysics of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic.
The holiday prayer in the mosques of the country will take place on this day at 6:00 AM.
In Tajikistan, Eid al-Adha is officially celebrated, and on this day, the residents of the country rest. Early in the morning, a festive prayer is held in all congregational mosques, and clergy representatives in their sermons urge people to peace and harmony, respect for elders, and support for those in need.
After the mosque prayer, people visit cemeteries to pray for their deceased.
Those with the means and property, in accordance with Sharia law, sacrifice livestock (sheep, cows, or camels). The meat of the sacrificial animal is divided into three parts: one part for the family, the second part for relatives, and the third is necessarily given to those in need and orphans.
