“Kurban-Bayram is the holiday that was left to us by the prophet Ibraham (Abrahim), for us he was an example of patience and humility, and he received the command of God to sacrifice his son Ishmael, whom he loved so much, and he was ready to do it, but a she-goat was sent for him to slaughter, and this tradition has remained to this day. The meat is divided into three parts this day: one third is given to the needy, one is given as a gift, and the remaining third is retained for own family and we cannot sell such meat, only distribute,” said Iman Hassan Akhatov.
