Bakrid 2025 rules: Muslims across the world are celebrating Eid-ul-Adha 2025, also known as Bakrid, Eid-al-Adha, or Eid ul Zuha. This important Islamic festival is also called the "Festival of Sacrifice", and it honours the strong faith and obedience of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham).
Eid-ul-Adha begins every year on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah (the last month of the Islamic calendar) and is celebrated for three days.
Eid-ul-Adha marks the moment when Prophet Ibrahim was willing to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to Allah. At the last moment, Allah replaced his son with a ram, showing that his devotion was accepted.
This deep act of faith is remembered every year by Muslims who offer Qurbani, the ritual sacrifice of an animal.
Qurbani, also called Udhiyah, is the act of sacrificing an animal (goat, sheep, or camel) in remembrance of Prophet Ibrahim¡¯s devotion. This ritual is performed during Eid al-Adha to reflect submission to Allah¡¯s will.

Only goats, sheep, and camels are permitted.
The animal should be healthy, well-fed, and free from defects (no broken horns, missing limbs, etc.).
A trained person should slaughter the animal according to the Islamic method, saying ¡°Bismillah, Allahu Akbar¡± before cutting the throat.
After the sacrifice, the meat should be divided into three parts:
