Muslim clerics emphasize responsible celebration of Eid-el-Adha, discouraging desperation and borrowing.

As the festival approaches, Islamic scholars advise Muslims to celebrate within their means and avoid financial trouble.

The Chief Imam of the University of Abuja, Prof. Taofeek AbdulAzeez, warns against borrowing for the occasion, urging Muslims to buy only what they can afford and seek Allah’s pleasure.

The essence of Eid-el-Adha is highlighted as a symbol of submission, sacrifice, and patience, exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim (AS).

Sheikh Tajudeen Adewunmi, Secretary-General of the League of Imams and Alfas in Ogun State, stresses moderation, stating that slaughtering rams is not obligatory and only those who can afford it should do so.

The message is clear: celebration should be balanced, sincere, and devoid of desperation.
