İhlas Foundation Board Chairman Mahmut Kemal Aydın stated that they are conducting sacrificial slaughter activities in Africa and Asia. İhlas Foundation completed its preparations for sacrificial slaughter both domestically and abroad as the Feast of Sacrifice approaches. Mahmut Kemal Aydın, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of İhlas Foundation, provided information about the foundation’s sacrificial slaughter activities. Aydın stated that they perform sacrificial slaughter in Africa and Asia. Providing information about the share prices of sacrificial animals, Aydın announced that the domestic share price for sacrificial animals is 11,000 TL, while it is 3,500 TL abroad. ‘It is necessary for the cattle to have reached the age of two’ Aydın provided information on how sacrificial animals are selected, saying, ‘The cattle must have reached the age of two. We examine the teeth of the animals we choose for sacrifice. A cattle that has reached the age of two sheds its two teeth in the lower jaw and two large teeth emerge. This is called ‘shedding the cap’ in Anatolia. If this has happened, the animal can be slaughtered as a sacrifice.’ Sacrificial slaughter in a total of 5 countries in Asia and Africa Aydın also made statements regarding the distribution of sacrificial meat, ‘We slaughter the sacrificial animals in the cities where our dormitories are located domestically. We deliver the sacrificial meat to students in our dormitories and to those in need in the region. We conduct sacrificial slaughter in Uganda, Chad, and Somalia in Africa; and in Afghanistan and India in Asia. We distribute the sacrificial meat to Quranic schools and madrasas in Africa and Asia. In the countries abroad where we conduct the slaughter, where the weather is very hot, we slaughter the sacrificial animals in countries where we can organize. To prevent the sacrificial meat from spoiling in that heat, we distribute it on the same day,’ he said. Aydın stated, ‘Those who want to have sacrificial slaughters done through İhlas Foundation can reach us through the foundation’s website. They can also reach us through our phone numbers. After receiving the power of attorney, we carry out the sacrificial slaughter procedures. We send the video footage of the sacrificial slaughters we perform domestically and abroad to the people who donate for the sacrifice.’
