GEORGE TOWN (Bernama): Penang will allow the animal sacrificial rites (ibadah korban) to be held in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidiladha, and this can only be carried out at mosques, surau compounds and slaughterhouses, with strict adherence to the set standard operating procedures (SOP), says Datuk Ahmad Zakiyuddin Abdul Rahman.
The Deputy Chief Minister 1, who is also state Islamic Religious Council (MAINPP) president, said the number of animals to be slaughtered is subject to regulations and only 25 individuals are allowed to be involved in the activity.
