Eid al-Adha 2024 is expected to fall on Monday 17th June in Canada. As we all know Eid al-Adha is celebrated on the 10th of Zihajj each year, so the expected date for Eid al-Adha is 16th and 17 June as per the Islamic calendar.
On the evening of 16th June the lunar date will turn to 10th Zilhajj after sunset and the next morning, Muslims will offer the sacrifice after offering their Eid prayer.
Eid al-Adha is one of the two main celebrations of Islam. It is also known as the festival of sacrifice. Muslims sacrifice their beloved animal i.e. cattle, sheep, goats, etc on this day.
Eid al-Adha as in Canada is celebrated the same way as in many other countries. Muslims say their Eid prayers in Mosques and Islamic centers and then sacrifice their animal. The difference is that the animals are not allowed to be kept at home or slaughtered at home. Muslims who intend to sacrifice the animal buy and keep it at shelters provided by the organizations.
Moreover, the sacrifices of animals are done at slaughterhouses. Afterward, the Muslims collect the meat and distribute it to the needy and keep some amount to cook themselves.
