Mufti Muneeb Demands Third Day Of Eid To Be Declared a Holiday

Chairman of Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman, has said that the third day of Eid should also be declared as a holiday as three days are reserved for sacrifice.

Regarding the Eid ul Adha holidays, Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman said that the federal government has announced two Eid holidays, after which many people had asked him to request another holiday as they offer sacrifices on the third day.

There are three days reserved for animal sacrifices in Shariah. People of the middle-class usually offer sacrifices on the third day saving a reasonable amount of money compared to the first two days. Therefore, a holiday should be declared on the third day of Eid ul Adha.
