Melaka allows Aidiladha ‘korban’ at mosque, surau

MELAKA (Bernama): The Melaka Islamic Religious Department (JAIM) allows this year’s Aidiladha sacrifice (korban) to be conducted at mosque and surau compounds, but limited to only five animals per day at each premises from July 20 to 23.

Its director, Datuk Che Sukri Che Mat, said the mosques and surau are, however, required to obtain prior approval from the state Veterinary Services Department, which will also determine the place that is suitable for the purpose.
